What Is This Tool?

This tool enables quick and accurate conversion between gal units (Gal), a CGS measurement of acceleration commonly used in geophysics, and nanometer per square second (nm/s²), an SI-derived unit applied in nanoscale and precision accelerations.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the acceleration value measured in gal (Gal).
  • Select gal (Gal) as the input unit and nanometer per square second (nm/s²) as the output unit.
  • Click the convert button to get the equivalent value in nm/s².

Key Features

  • Converts acceleration values from gal (Gal) to nanometer per square second (nm/s²).
  • Browser-based interface requiring no installation.
  • Suitable for applications in geophysics, nanotechnology, and precision instrumentation.

Examples

  • 1 Gal equals 10,000,000 nm/s².
  • 0.5 Gal equals 5,000,000 nm/s².

Common Use Cases

  • Measuring gravity anomalies in geophysical surveys using gal units converted to nanoscale precision.
  • Analyzing small peak ground accelerations in seismology and earthquake engineering.
  • Characterizing minute accelerations in MEMS and NEMS devices using nm/s² units.

Tips & Best Practices

  • Use gal units for larger-scale acceleration measurements related to gravity and seismic activity.
  • Select nm/s² units for nano- and micro-scale acceleration phenomena requiring high precision.
  • Ensure measurement instruments have the required sensitivity to detect values at the nanoscale.

Limitations

  • Gal units are less suitable for nanoscale phenomena due to their comparatively larger size.
  • Nanometer per square second units may not be practical for general geophysical applications because of their extremely small magnitude.
  • High-precision devices are needed to measure accelerations in nm/s².
