Key Terminology
-
Cubic yard/hour [yd^3/h]
-
A volumetric flow unit describing the volume of one cubic yard moving past a point per hour, used in industrial and construction applications.
-
Milliliter/minute [mL/min]
-
A small-scale volumetric flow rate unit indicating one milliliter passing a fixed point every minute, common in medical and laboratory contexts.
