What does cubic yard per minute measure?

It measures volumetric flow rate as the volume of one cubic yard passing a given point every minute, commonly used for large flow rates.

Why convert from cubic yard/minute to cubic foot/hour?

Conversion helps translate large-scale flow measurements into smaller scale units for detailed monitoring or interfacing with equipment calibrated in cubic feet per hour.

Are temperature and pressure considered in this conversion?

No, the conversion assumes consistent volumetric flow and does not account for fluid compressibility or temperature and pressure variations.
