Length
Convert yard (yd) to metre (m). Length units span pipe diameters (mm, inch), plant dimensions (m, ft), and roughness (µm) — mixing metric and imperial is routine.
1 yd = 0.9144 m
To convert yard to metre, multiply the yd value by 0.9144. To go the other way, divide by 0.9144 (or multiply by 1.093613).
| yd | m |
|---|---|
| 1 | 0.9144 |
| 2 | 1.8288 |
| 5 | 4.572 |
| 10 | 9.144 |
| 25 | 22.86 |
| 50 | 45.72 |
| 100 | 91.44 |
| 250 | 228.6 |
| 500 | 457.2 |
| 1000 | 914.4 |
Pipe sizes are labelled in inches (NPS) but calculated in mm; equipment layouts mix metres and feet.
Velocity scales with the inverse square of diameter, so a small length error compounds quickly in flow calculations.
Worked example. A length of 0.1093613 yd is 0.1 m.
Multiply the value in yd by 0.9144 to get m. For example, 10 yd = 9.144 m.
1 yd equals 0.9144 m.
