What is a liter per minute?

A liter per minute (L/min) is a metric unit measuring the volume of fluid or gas passing a point each minute, used commonly in medical and engineering contexts.

What does cubic yard per minute measure?

Cubic yard per minute quantifies volumetric flow rate, representing one cubic yard of volume passing per minute, commonly used in large-scale civil and marine engineering.

Why convert from liters per minute to cubic yard per minute?

Converting facilitates communication and equipment specification between metric and customary systems, especially useful in engineering and construction applications.
