About Converting Imperial gallon per Seconds to Cubic yard per Seconds
Imperial gallon per Seconds 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 = imperial gallon per seconds × 0.00594606123096
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 imperial gallon per seconds equals 0.00454609 base units, and 1 cubic yard per seconds equals 0.764554857984 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct imperial gallon per seconds-to-cubic yard per seconds factor of 0.00594606123096.
Simple example
1 imp gal/s × 0.005946061231 = 0.0059460612 yd3/s
1 imperial gallon per seconds = 0.0059460612 cubic yard per seconds.
Real-world example
60 imp gal/s × 0.005946061231 = 0.3567636739 yd3/s
60 imperial gallon per seconds = 0.3567636739 cubic yard per seconds.

Frequently asked questions
How many cubic yard per seconds are in 1 imperial gallon per seconds?
1 imperial gallon per seconds equals 0.0059460612 cubic yard per seconds, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert imperial gallon per seconds to cubic yard per seconds?
Multiply the imperial gallon per seconds value by 0.005946061231. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert cubic yard per seconds back to imperial gallon per seconds?
Use the reverse factor: 1 cubic yard per seconds equals 168.1785574 imperial gallon per seconds. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a imperial gallon per seconds?
Imperial gallon per Seconds (imp gal/s) 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 imperial gallon per seconds to cubic yard per seconds conversion exact?
Yes. Both imperial gallon per seconds and cubic yard per seconds are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 0.005946061231 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.
