What does one cubic yard per minute represent?

It is a flow rate unit describing the volume of one cubic yard passing a point every minute, used to quantify the movement of liquids or bulk materials.

Why would I convert cubic yards per minute to gallons per hour?

Converting to gallons per hour allows you to interpret large flow volumes in smaller, more practical liquid flow units for applications like fuel consumption and dosing.

Can this converter be used for solids as well as liquids?

While cubic yard/minute often tracks bulk volumes including solids, conversions to gallons per hour are designed for liquid flow rates and may not accurately represent solids.
