Facts about Cubic Yard
Basic facts: A cubic yard [symbol: yd3] is the United States customary and imperial unit of the volume represented as the volume of a cube with measurements 1 yd × 1 yd × 1 yd. In other words, it is a unit of volume equal to a cube one yard long on each side. It is equivalent to 27 cubic feet, 0.7645549 cubic meters, and 764.5549 liters.
The IEEE [Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers] symbol for the cubic yard is yd³. Also, the following abbreviations are used – cubic yards, cubic yard, cubic yds, cubic yd, cu yards, cu yard, cu yds, cu yd, CYs etc.
Unit of volume flow rate is 1 cubic yard per second [1 yd3/s]. It equals one cubic yard passing through a specified area every second.
Unit of volume flow rate is 1 cubic yard per minute [1 yd3/min]. It equals one cubic yard passing through a specified area every minute.
History: The international yard is the base of the cubic yard. The international yard was adopted in the 1950s and 1960s and is equivalent to 0.9144 meters.
Use: The cubic yard is used to some extent in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom. All of these countries also use metric or SI [International System of Units] measurements for volumes like liters, milliliters, and cubic meters.
Facts about Cubic Foot
Basic facts: A cubic foot [symbol is: ft3 or cu ft] is a unit of volume in the United States customary, i.e.: non-metric, and imperial systems of measurement represented as the cube volume with side measurements of 1 ft × 1 ft × 1 ft. It equals 1,728 cubic centimeters, around 0.028317 cubic meters, and 28.317 liters. In other words, it is the amount of liquid that can be fit into a box 1 foot deep, 1 foot wide, and 1 foot in length. A cubic foot of water weighs 62.37 pounds (28.29 kg) at 60 °F (16 °C).
History: The cubic foot descended from the foot, the definition of which is based on the international yard which was adopted in the 1950s and 1960s as precisely equal to 0.9144 m.
Use: The cubic foot is used in the United Kingdom, in the United States, and in some parts of Canada, however, in all of these countries, the SI (International System of Units) units of volume such as liter, milliliter, and cubic meter, are also used.
A cubic foot per second or cubic meter per second [the IEEE symbol for the cubic foot per second is ft3/s.] commonly expresses the flow or discharge of rivers, i.e., the volume of water passing a location per unit of time.
A cubic foot per minute [the IEEE symbol for the cubic foot per minute is ft3/min] is used to measure the amount of air that is being delivered and is a common metric utilized for carburetors, air-compressor systems, and pneumatic tools.
A standard cubic foot [abbreviated scf] is a measure of the quantity of gas, sometimes defined in terms of standard temperature and pressure as a cubic foot of volume at 60 degrees Fahrenheit (15.56 °C; 288.71 K).
