Convert Cubic yards per minute to US gallons per second
Convert Cubic yards per minute (yd³/min) to US gallons per second (gal/s) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
gal/s = yd³/min × 3.366233766
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 US gallons per second
The US gallon per second (gal/s) equals 3.785411784×10⁻³ m³/s, used for very large pump discharge rates and fire-suppression deluge systems. A large centrifugal fire pump rated 1 500 US gal/min delivers exactly 25 US gal/s; industrial cooling-tower makeup lines are sized in gal/s at peak demand. 1 US gal/s = 3.785411784×10⁻³ m³/s = 60 US gal/min ≈ 227.1 L/min.
