About Converting Cubic foot per Hours to Cubic yard per Seconds
Cubic foot per Hours and Cubic yard per Seconds both measure volumetric flow rate — how much volume passes a point over time — used to size pipes and pumps, monitor river or stream discharge, control industrial processes, and set medical infusion rates. Both are volumetric flow rate units.
Formula
cubic yard per seconds = cubic foot per hours × 0.0000102880658436
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 cubic foot per hours equals 0.00000786579072 base units, and 1 cubic yard per seconds equals 0.764554857984 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct cubic foot per hours-to-cubic yard per seconds factor of 0.0000102880658436.
Simple example
1 ft3/h × 0.00001028806584 = 0.0000102881 yd3/s
1 cubic foot per hours = 0.0000102881 cubic yard per seconds.
Real-world example
60 ft3/h × 0.00001028806584 = 0.000617284 yd3/s
60 cubic foot per hours = 0.000617284 cubic yard per seconds.

Frequently asked questions
How many cubic yard per seconds are in 1 cubic foot per hours?
1 cubic foot per hours equals 0.0000102881 cubic yard per seconds, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert cubic foot per hours to cubic yard per seconds?
Multiply the cubic foot per hours value by 0.00001028806584. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert cubic yard per seconds back to cubic foot per hours?
Use the reverse factor: 1 cubic yard per seconds equals 97,200 cubic foot per hours. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a cubic foot per hours?
Cubic foot per Hours (ft3/h) is a unit of flow rate.
What is a cubic yard per seconds?
Cubic yard per Seconds (yd3/s) is a unit of flow rate.
Is the cubic foot per hours to cubic yard per seconds conversion exact?
Yes. Both cubic foot per hours and cubic yard per seconds are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 0.00001028806584 used above is exact to as many digits as you choose to display.
What's the difference between volumetric and mass flow rate?
Volumetric flow rate measures the volume of fluid passing a point per unit time (for example, liters per second). Mass flow rate measures the mass instead. For a fluid of constant density the two are directly proportional, but for compressible fluids like gases, mass flow is often the more meaningful quantity.
