What does a cubic yard per minute represent?

It represents the volume of one cubic yard passing a point every minute, used to measure volumetric flow.

What is an acre-foot per hour unit used for?

It measures the flow of one acre-foot of water passing per hour, commonly used in water management and irrigation.

Can this converter be used for non-water fluids?

Yes, it converts volumetric flow rates regardless of fluid type, but does not consider fluid properties affecting flow.
