Why convert from cubic yard/second to gallon (US)/hour?

This conversion allows expressing large volumetric flow rates in more manageable units often used for pump specifications, fuel consumption, or industrial dosing.

Can I use this conversion for small flow rates?

While the tool converts any value, gallon (US)/hour is commonly used for smaller flows, so care should be taken when interpreting conversions of very low yd³/s values.

Is the conversion factor exact?

The tool uses a precise conversion rate, but minor rounding may happen due to decimal precision inherent in the factor.

Key Terminology

Cubic yard/second [yd³/s]: A volumetric flow rate measuring one cubic yard of fluid passing a point every second, used in US customary and hydraulics contexts.
Gallon (US)/hour [gal (US)/h]: A volumetric flow rate equal to the number of US liquid gallons passing a point each hour, common in fuel consumption and small pump flow measurements.
