About Converting Gallon per Seconds to Cubic yard per Minutes
Gallon per Seconds and Cubic yard per Minutes 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 minutes = gallon per seconds × 0.297067901235
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 minutes equals 0.0127425809664 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct gallon per seconds-to-cubic yard per minutes factor of 0.297067901235.
Simple example
1 gal/s × 0.2970679012 = 0.2970679012 yd3/min
1 gallon per seconds = 0.2970679012 cubic yard per minutes.
Real-world example
60 gal/s × 0.2970679012 = 17.82407407 yd3/min
60 gallon per seconds = 17.82407407 cubic yard per minutes.

Multiply the gallon per seconds value by 0.2970679012. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert cubic yard per minutes back to gallon per seconds?
Use the reverse factor: 1 cubic yard per minutes equals 3.366233766 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 minutes?
Cubic yard per Minutes (yd3/min) is a unit of flow rate.
Is the gallon per seconds to cubic yard per minutes conversion exact?
Yes. Both gallon per seconds and cubic yard per minutes are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 0.2970679012 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.
