What does a cubic yard per second measure?

It measures volumetric flow rate as one cubic yard of fluid passing a point each second, commonly used in US customary units for hydraulic and engineering applications.

Where is gallon (UK)/minute commonly used?

The gallon (UK)/minute unit is applied in regions using imperial units, typically for plumbing, pump sizing, and industrial flow rate documentation.

Can this conversion be applied to all fluid flow types?

This conversion assumes steady, incompressible fluid flow and may not be accurate for rapid or multiphase flow scenarios.
