Convert Cubic feet per hour to Cubic yards per second
Convert Cubic feet per hour (ft³/h) to Cubic yards per second (yd³/s) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
yd³/s = ft³/h × 1.028806584e-5
About Cubic feet per hour
The cubic foot per hour (ft³/h) equals 0.028316846592/3600 ≈ 7.866×10⁻⁶ m³/s, used in US natural-gas metering (residential gas meters read in cubic feet; billing converts to CCF = 100 ft³) and historical furnace-fuel-consumption tables. A US residential gas furnace consumes 80-200 ft³/h of natural gas at full fire. 1 ft³/h ≈ 7.866×10⁻⁶ m³/s.
About Cubic yards per second
The cubic yard per second (yd³/s) equals 0.764554857984 m³/s, a large unit used in US civil engineering for river flood-stage measurements and reservoir emergency-spillway capacity. A major dam spillway releasing water at 1 000 yd³/s could drain an Olympic pool in about 3 seconds. 1 yd³/s = 0.764554857984 m³/s ≈ 764.555 L/s ≈ 27 ft³/s.
