About Converting Gallon per Seconds to Cubic yards per Fortnight
Gallon per Seconds and Cubic yard per Fortnight 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 yards per fortnight = gallon per seconds × 5988.88888889
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 gallon per seconds equals 0.003785411784 base units, and 1 cubic yard per fortnight equals 6.320725e-7 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct gallon per seconds-to-cubic yard per fortnight factor of 5988.88888889.
Simple example
1 gal/s × 5988.888889 = 5,988.888889 yd3/fn
1 gallon per seconds = 5,988.888889 cubic yards per fortnight.
Real-world example
60 gal/s × 5988.888889 = 359,333.3333 yd3/fn
60 gallon per seconds = 359,333.3333 cubic yards per fortnight.

Frequently asked questions
How many cubic yards per fortnight are in 1 gallon per seconds?
1 gallon per seconds equals 5,988.888889 cubic yards per fortnight, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert gallon per seconds to cubic yard per fortnight?
Multiply the gallon per seconds value by 5988.888889. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert cubic yard per fortnight back to gallon per seconds?
Use the reverse factor: 1 cubic yard per fortnight equals 0.0001669759 gallon per seconds. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a gallon per seconds?
Gallon per Seconds (gal/s) is a unit of flow rate.
What is a cubic yard per fortnight?
Cubic yard per Fortnight (yd3/fn) is a unit of flow rate.
Is the gallon per seconds to cubic yard per fortnight conversion exact?
Yes. Both gallon per seconds and cubic yard per fortnight are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 5988.888889 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.
