What is a yard in terms of length?

A yard is an imperial and US customary unit of length equal to 3 feet or exactly 0.9144 meters.

What does centiinch represent?

A centiinch is a nonstandard length unit equal to one hundredth of an inch, used for finer dimension measurements.

Why convert yards to centiinches?

Converting yards to centiinches allows you to obtain detailed precision in length measurements useful for machining, engineering, and layout work.
