What does one cubic yard per minute represent?

It is the volume of a 3-foot cube passing a point every minute, used to measure flow rates of liquids or bulk materials.

Why convert cubic yard/minute to barrel (US)/hour?

This conversion helps translate flow measurements from civil or construction engineering into petroleum industry terms for better coordination.

Can this conversion handle changes in fluid properties?

No, the conversion assumes steady flow and does not factor in variations in fluid density, temperature, or pressure.
