Convert Million litres per day to Cubic yards per hour
Convert Million litres per day (ML/d) to Cubic yards per hour (yd³/h) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
yd³/h = ML/d × 54.49794247
About Million litres per day
The million litres per day (ML/d or MLD) equals 1000/86400 ≈ 0.011574 m³/s, the standard capacity unit for water-treatment plants, sewage-treatment works, and desalination facilities in the UK, India, and much of the Commonwealth. A small town water-treatment works processes 5-20 ML/d; the Beckton Sewage Treatment Works in London treats ≈700 ML/d. 1 ML/d ≈ 0.011574 m³/s = 1 000 m³/d.
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.
