What does cubic yard per hour measure?

Cubic yard per hour quantifies the volume of one cubic yard flowing past a point every hour, commonly used for solids or liquids in construction and material handling.

Where is hundred-cubic foot per minute used?

Hundred-cubic foot per minute is primarily used to measure airflow in ventilation, HVAC, and industrial air movement applications.

Can I directly compare these units without adjustment?

Since these units measure flow of different substances and volumes over different time units, direct comparison requires caution and understanding of the fluid characteristics.
