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 second
The UK (imperial) gallon per second (gal/s) equals 4.54609×10⁻³ m³/s, about 20% larger than the US gallon per second. It appears in pre-metric British fire-fighting standards, large pump test certificates, and naval engineering calculations. A UK fire engine pump rated 1 000 UK gal/min delivers ≈16.67 UK gal/s. 1 UK gal/s = 4.54609×10⁻³ m³/s ≈ 1.201 US gal/s.
