About Converting Cubic yard per Years to Cubic yard per Seconds
Cubic yard per Years 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 yard per years × 3.168874e-8
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 cubic yard per years equals 2.422778e-8 base units, and 1 cubic yard per seconds equals 0.764554857984 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct cubic yard per years-to-cubic yard per seconds factor of 3.168874e-8.
Simple example
1 yd3/yr × 3.168874e-8 = 3.168874e-8 yd3/s
1 cubic yard per years = 3.168874e-8 cubic yard per seconds.
Real-world example
60 yd3/yr × 3.168874e-8 = 0.0000019013 yd3/s
60 cubic yard per years = 0.0000019013 cubic yard per seconds.

Multiply the cubic yard per years value by 3.168874e-8. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert cubic yard per seconds back to cubic yard per years?
Use the reverse factor: 1 cubic yard per seconds equals 31,556,952 cubic yard per years. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a cubic yard per years?
Cubic yard per Years (yd3/yr) 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 yard per years to cubic yard per seconds conversion exact?
Yes. Both cubic yard per years and cubic yard per seconds are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 3.168874e-8 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.
