What Is This Tool?

This tool allows you to convert angles from circles, which represent full rotations, to grads, a decimal subdivision of a circle commonly used in surveying and engineering.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the angle value in circles representing full or partial rotations
  • Select 'circle' as the input unit and 'grad [^g]' as the output unit
  • Click the convert button to obtain the equivalent angle in grads
  • Use the converted value for your specific measurement or engineering needs

Key Features

  • Converts angle units from circle to grad [^g]
  • Supports precise representation of rotations and fractional turns
  • Simple and user-friendly interface for quick conversions
  • Browser-based tool with no installation required
  • Useful for applications in surveying, civil engineering, and computer graphics

Examples

  • 0.25 Circle equals 100 Grad [^g]
  • 1.5 Circle equals 600 Grad [^g]

Common Use Cases

  • Describing rotations of machinery parts like gears and shafts
  • Representing phase cycles in signal processing and periodic phenomena
  • Specifying rotations in computer graphics and robotics
  • Measuring bearings and angles in land surveying and topographic maps
  • Applying decimal angle units in civil engineering and road construction
  • Conducting geodetic calculations and instrument calibration

Tips & Best Practices

  • Ensure you understand the difference between grads, degrees, and radians before converting
  • Use this converter when precise decimal subdivision of angles is needed
  • Apply grad units primarily in surveying or civil engineering contexts
  • Double-check the converted values for applications involving rotations or phase measurements
  • Consider the application domain to choose the most appropriate angular unit

Limitations

  • The grad unit system is mainly used in surveying and certain engineering fields and not widespread elsewhere
  • Since 1 circle equals exactly 400 grads, the subdivision differs from degrees or radians which may cause confusion
  • Users unfamiliar with grad units should exercise caution when interpreting results

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a circle in angle measurement?
A circle represents one complete rotation about a point, equal to 360 degrees or 2π radians.

What is a grad and where is it used?
A grad, also called gradian or gon, is 1/400 of a full circle and is frequently used in surveying, civil engineering, and geodesy for expressing angles.

How do I convert from circle to grad?
Multiply the number of circles by 400 to get the equivalent angle in grads.

Key Terminology

Circle
An angle unit denoting one complete rotation about a point; equivalent to 360 degrees or 2π radians.
Grad [^g]
An angular unit equal to 1/400 of a full circle, used mainly in surveying and engineering for decimal subdivision of angles.
