What does cubic yard per hour measure?

It measures how much volume of fluid or bulk material passes a point in one hour, commonly used in construction and material handling.

When is liter per minute commonly used?

Liter per minute is used for moderate flows of liquids or gases, especially in medical therapy, laboratory applications, and precision engineering.

Can I convert cubic yard per hour to liter per minute for all types of materials?

While you can convert between the units, the cubic yard per hour unit is typically used for bulk solids or large flows, so conversions may not always be practical for granular materials or very high flow rates.

What Is This Tool?

This converter transforms flow rate values from cubic yard per hour, a non-SI unit often used in construction and dredging, into liter per minute, a metric unit frequently applied in medical, laboratory, and engineering contexts.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the flow rate value in cubic yard per hour (yd³/h)
Select cubic yard/hour as the input unit and liter/minute as the output unit
Click the convert button to get the equivalent value in liter per minute (L/min)

Key Features

Converts volumetric flow rates between yd³/h and L/min
Supports measurements commonly used in construction, engineering, and medical fields
Browser-based interface for quick and easy conversions
Provides precise conversion following the standard formula

Examples

2 yd³/h equals approximately 25.49 L/min
0.5 yd³/h equals approximately 6.37 L/min

Common Use Cases

Specifying pump discharge rates for excavation and sediment removal
Measuring concrete and aggregate delivery rates on construction sites
Setting respiratory flow rates in medical oxygen therapy
Sizing irrigation and stormwater conveyance systems
Selecting flow rates for laboratory and peristaltic pumps

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure consistent units are selected before converting to avoid errors
Use the tool to bridge flow rate measurements between industrial and medical standards
Be cautious when converting very high flow rates or granular materials, as practical limitations may apply
Confirm steady flow conditions when applying conversions for accurate interpretation

Limitations

Conversion assumes steady volumetric flow without considering fluid compressibility or temperature
Cubic yard/hour unit is typically for bulk solids or large flows, which may affect practicality when converted to liters per minute
Not suited for measuring highly variable or compressible fluid flows
