About Converting Gallon per Seconds to Cubic yard per Hours
Gallon per Seconds and Cubic yard per Hours 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 hours = gallon per seconds × 17.8240740741
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 hours equals 0.00021237634944 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct gallon per seconds-to-cubic yard per hours factor of 17.8240740741.
Simple example
1 gal/s × 17.82407407 = 17.82407407 yd3/h
1 gallon per seconds = 17.82407407 cubic yard per hours.
Real-world example
60 gal/s × 17.82407407 = 1,069.444444 yd3/h
60 gallon per seconds = 1,069.444444 cubic yard per hours.

How do I convert cubic yard per hours back to gallon per seconds?
Use the reverse factor: 1 cubic yard per hours equals 0.0561038961 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 hours?
Cubic yard per Hours (yd3/h) is a unit of flow rate.
Is the gallon per seconds to cubic yard per hours conversion exact?
Yes. Both gallon per seconds and cubic yard per hours are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 17.82407407 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.
