About this conversion
This page converts cubic yards per second (yd3/s) into cubic feet per minute (ft3/min), two units of volumetric flow rate.
The Cubic Yard (yd3) is a unit of volume. The Second (s) is a unit of time.
The Cubic Foot (ft3) is a unit of volume. The Minute (min) is a unit of time.
The formula is ft3/min = yd3/s × 1620, based on the fixed relationship between these two flow rate units.
Flow rate is calculated as a volume unit divided by a time unit, so every combination of a volume unit and a time unit forms a valid, exact flow rate unit.
