/Second [yd³/s]


Cubic yard per second [yd³/s] is a unit of volumetric flow rate that measures the volume of material or fluid passing through a system every second, based on the cubic yard. One cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet or approximately 0.7646 cubic meters. Expressed per second, yd³/s is commonly used in high-flow industrial processes, large-scale construction, water resource management, and flood control systems where rapid monitoring of substantial volumes is essential. For example, a dam releasing 10 yd³/s discharges ten cubic yards of water every second, allowing engineers to manage reservoir levels and downstream flow safely. In industrial operations, it can monitor slurry or bulk material flows in real time to maintain efficiency and prevent overflows. Compared to yd³/min or yd³/h, cubic yard per second provides instantaneous, high-resolution measurement, enabling immediate adjustments for optimal system performance. It is also used in irrigation channels, dredging, and municipal water distribution to handle large volumes accurately. Using cubic yards per second allows engineers, operators, and planners to measure, control, and optimize volumetric flow, ensuring safety, efficiency, and reliable operation in critical large-scale fluid and material systems.


Hundred-Cubic Foot/Minute [hcf/min]


Hundred-cubic foot per minute [hcf/min] is a unit of volumetric flow rate commonly used in industrial processes, municipal water supply, and large-scale fluid management. One hundred cubic feet (hcf) equals 100 cubic feet of water, approximately 2,832 liters or 748 gallons. Expressed per minute, hcf/min measures the volume of water or fluid flowing through a system every sixty seconds, making it ideal for applications that require real-time monitoring of high-volume flows. For example, a pipeline transporting 10 hcf/min delivers 1,000 cubic feet of water each minute, allowing engineers to manage pressure, prevent overflows, and ensure efficient distribution. In industrial systems, hcf/min is used to control cooling water, process fluids, or chemical inputs, ensuring safe and efficient operations. Compared to hcf/h or hcf/d, this unit provides finer temporal resolution, enabling immediate adjustments and precise flow control. Using hundred-cubic foot per minute allows engineers, operators, and facility managers to measure, monitor, and optimize fluid movement, ensuring operational efficiency, safety, and reliability across municipal, industrial, and irrigation applications.
