What Is This Tool?
This tool allows you to convert acceleration values from the gal (Gal), a CGS unit used for small accelerations, into the SI unit meter per square second (m/s²), enabling accurate comparisons and reporting in scientific and engineering contexts.
How to Use This Tool?
- Enter the acceleration value measured in gal (Gal).
- Select 'gal [Gal]' as the source unit and 'meter/square second' as the target unit.
- Click the convert button to display the equivalent acceleration in m/s².
Key Features
- Converts gal (Gal) — a unit equal to 1 cm/s² — to meter per square second (m/s²).
- Easy, browser-based interface suitable for quick conversions.
- Useful for gravity survey data, seismology, and accelerometer calibration.
- Displays results in the internationally recognized SI acceleration unit.
Examples
- 50 Gal converts to 0.5 meter/square second (50 × 0.01).
- 120 Gal converts to 1.2 meter/square second (120 × 0.01).
Common Use Cases
- Reporting gravity anomalies in gravimetry and gravity surveys.
- Expressing small earthquake ground accelerations in seismology.
- Calibrating sensitive accelerometers and interpreting precision acceleration data.
Tips & Best Practices
- Always verify unit selection before conversion to ensure correct results.
- Understand the context of measurements—gal is primarily used in geophysics and seismology.
- Use high-precision instruments when dealing with very small acceleration values due to conversion scale.
Limitations
- Conversions involving very small acceleration values demand precise measurement equipment due to the 1 Gal = 0.01 m/s² scale.
- Gal units are uncommon outside geophysical fields, so familiarity with both units is important for multidisciplinary applications.
