About Converting Cubic yard per Hours to Cubic foot per Minutes
Cubic yard per Hours and Cubic foot per Minutes 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 foot per minutes = cubic yard per hours × 0.45
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 cubic yard per hours equals 0.00021237634944 base units, and 1 cubic foot per minutes equals 0.0004719474432 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct cubic yard per hours-to-cubic foot per minutes factor of 0.45.
Simple example
1 yd3/h × 0.45 = 0.45 ft3/min
1 cubic yard per hours = 0.45 cubic foot per minutes.
Real-world example
60 yd3/h × 0.45 = 27 ft3/min
60 cubic yard per hours = 27 cubic foot per minutes.

Frequently asked questions
How many cubic foot per minutes are in 1 cubic yard per hours?
1 cubic yard per hours equals 0.45 cubic foot per minutes, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert cubic yard per hours to cubic foot per minutes?
Multiply the cubic yard per hours value by 0.45. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert cubic foot per minutes back to cubic yard per hours?
Use the reverse factor: 1 cubic foot per minutes equals 2.222222222 cubic yard per hours. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a cubic yard per hours?
Cubic yard per Hours (yd3/h) is a unit of flow rate.
What is a cubic foot per minutes?
Cubic foot per Minutes (ft3/min) measures volumetric flow rate. One cubic foot of volume passing a point every minute. It is classified as a US customary flow-rate unit.
Is the cubic yard per hours to cubic foot per minutes conversion exact?
Yes. Both cubic yard per hours and cubic foot per minutes are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 0.45 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.
