A yard is a unit of measurement in the imperial system that was historically standardized through official physical artifacts, such as the British Imperial Standard and Bronze Yard No. 11 used by the United States between 1855 and 1892. These standardized yard measures were important because they ensured consistent and accurate measurements across a country or region, allowing for reliable commerce, construction, and other activities that depend on precise length.

碼（yard），符號為yd，英制中測量長度的一種單位，在英國（聯合王國）、其前殖民地及英聯邦國家中尤為常用。美國亦曾為英國殖民地；美國使用英制長度單位者，人數之眾，冠絕各國。 在香港，於售賣紙張、布匹及電線等的傳統商舖仍常使用「碼」為長度單位。另外，與「碼」字相關、最常出現在口頭語或報刊上的也許是足球比賽術語「十二碼」這詞。該詞正好說明了由罰球點離球門線為12碼長。中國大陸普通稱「十二碼」為「點球」，英文為「penalty kick」。碼亦都是全世界的高爾夫球場（歐洲大陸除外）量度距離的單位。 「碼」也做為指稱事件的單位，如一碼事、兩碼事。
