Forum rules
Dear convert-me.com forum visitors,
Our forum has been available for many years. In September 2014 we decided to switch it to read-only mode. Month after month we saw less posts with questions and answers from real people and more spam posts. We were spending more and more resources cleaning the spam until there were less them 1 legitimate message per 100 spam posts. Then we decided it's time to stop.
All the posts in the forum will be available and searchable. We understand there are a lot of useful information and we aren't going to remove anything. As for the new questions, you can always ask them on
convert-me.com FaceBook pageThank you for being with us and sorry for any inconveniences this could caused.

I have been ask to figure liner yard for wound care gauze. The question is; What is the difference in yard and liner yard?

When measuring fabric, and other items of set width such as counter tops or lumber, linear yard is used to enforce that it is the length taken into account, not the width.
So your gauze might be 6 inches wide, but that width is constant. A linear yard would be the length of it.
