About Cubic yards per minute
The cubic yard per minute (yd³/min) equals 0.764554857984/60 ≈ 0.012743 m³/s, used in ready-mix concrete delivery rates (a concrete truck discharges 8-10 yd³ in about 10 min = 0.8-1 yd³/min) and dredge pump throughput in US harbour projects. 1 yd³/min ≈ 0.012743 m³/s = 12.74 L/s ≈ 200.0 US gal/min.
About UK gallons per minute
The UK (imperial) gallon per minute (gpm) equals 4.54609×10⁻³/60 ≈ 7.577×10⁻⁵ m³/s, historically used in British plumbing design, pump curves, and water-treatment plant sizing. Pre-metric UK water-industry capacity tables and pump manufacturers quoted flows in UK gal/min; legacy British Standard BS EN pump curves often show both units. 1 UK gpm ≈ 7.577×10⁻⁵ m³/s ≈ 4.546 L/min.
