Convert Cubic yards per hour to Cubic feet per second
Convert Cubic yards per hour (yd³/h) to Cubic feet per second (ft³/s) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
ft³/s = yd³/h × 0.0075
About Cubic yards per hour
The cubic yard per hour (yd³/h) equals 0.764554857984/3600 ≈ 2.124×10⁻⁴ m³/s, the standard unit for concrete pump output, earthwork compaction flow, and US dredging production rate reporting. A concrete pump truck delivers 30-80 yd³/h on a high-rise pour; a cutter-suction dredger handles 100-500 yd³/h in harbour maintenance. 1 yd³/h ≈ 2.124×10⁻⁴ m³/s.
About Cubic feet per second
The cubic foot per second (ft³/s or cfs) equals 0.028316846592 m³/s, the primary unit for measuring river discharge and open-channel flow in the United States. The US Geological Survey publishes all streamflow data in cfs; irrigation water rights, flood-control gates, and dam spillway capacities are specified in cfs. The Colorado River at full natural flow is ≈22 000 cfs. 1 cfs = 0.028316846592 m³/s ≈ 28.317 L/s ≈ 448.8 US gpm.
