What Is This Tool?
This converter transforms volumetric flow rates measured in cubic yards per hour into hundred-cubic foot per hour values. The tool is helpful for applications involving fluid or bulk material flow, particularly in fields like construction, dredging, and gas flow measurements.
How to Use This Tool?
-
Enter the value in cubic yard/hour you want to convert.
-
Select cubic yard/hour as the input unit and hundred-cubic foot/hour as the target unit.
-
Click convert to see the equivalent flow rate in hundred-cubic foot/hour.
-
Review the converted value and use it according to your application needs.
Key Features
-
Converts cubic yard/hour to hundred-cubic foot/hour based on a specific conversion factor.
-
Supports volumetric flow rate conversions relevant to engineering and utility industries.
-
Browser-based and easy-to-use interface suitable for quick calculations.
-
Ideal for aligning bulk material flow rates with gas or air flow measurement units.
Examples
-
5 yd³/h converts to 1.35 hundred-cubic foot/hour by multiplying 5 by 0.27.
-
10 yd³/h converts to 2.7 hundred-cubic foot/hour using the conversion factor.
Common Use Cases
-
Determining pump or dredge discharge rates for excavation and sediment removal.
-
Measuring concrete or aggregate delivery rates on construction sites.
-
Sizing conveyance capacity for irrigation, stormwater, or slurry transport systems.
-
Converting bulk material flow units to gas flow units for utility reporting.
-
Monitoring and sizing low-rate gas flows for appliances and burners.
-
Specifying ventilation or exhaust rates in systems using imperial units.
Tips & Best Practices
-
Ensure volumetric flow conditions are consistent when converting between units.
-
Verify the state and properties of fluid or material as it may affect applicability.
-
Use conversions to match measurement units with equipment and reporting standards.
-
Apply the tool for low-to-moderate volumetric flow rates where these units are standard.
Limitations
-
Conversion presumes stable volumetric flow without accounting for material or fluid property changes.
-
Hundred-cubic foot/hour is typically used for gases, so liquid or solid comparisons may require adjustments.
-
Do not rely solely on this conversion if material density or flow regimes differ significantly.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What does cubic yard per hour measure?
-
It measures the volume of one cubic yard passing a point every hour, indicating how much fluid or bulk material flows per unit time.
-
When is hundred-cubic foot per hour commonly used?
-
It is commonly used to express low-to-moderate gas or air flow rates, such as in natural gas utility monitoring and small ventilation systems.
-
Why convert cubic yard/hour to hundred-cubic foot/hour?
-
Converting helps align flow rate measurements from bulk material handling to units more suitable for gas flow applications and equipment specifications.
Key Terminology
-
Cubic yard/hour [yd³/h]
-
The volumetric flow rate measuring how many cubic yards pass a point in one hour, used for bulk materials and fluids in engineering.
-
Hundred-cubic foot/hour
-
A unit denoting 100 cubic feet passing a point hourly, commonly applied for low-to-moderate gas or airflow rates.
-
Volumetric Flow Rate
-
The volume of fluid or material passing through a section per unit of time.
