What Is This Tool?

This online converter allows you to convert angles measured in grad [^g] to gon, two angular units that represent the same fractional division of a circle. It is designed for professionals and enthusiasts involved in surveying, civil engineering, and mapping.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the angle value in grad [^g] into the input field
  • Select grad as the starting unit and gon as the target unit
  • Click convert to get the equivalent angle measurement in gon
  • Review the result, noting that both units represent the same value

Key Features

  • Converts angle values from grad [^g] to gon with a 1:1 rate
  • Supports units commonly used in geodesy, land surveying, and military targeting
  • Browser-based and easy to use without installation
  • Provides clear explanations to avoid confusion between unit names

Examples

  • Convert 10 grad [^g] to gon results in 10 gon
  • Convert 50 grad [^g] to gon results in 50 gon

Common Use Cases

  • Expressing bearings and measured angles in land surveying and topographic mapping
  • Simplifying calculations in civil engineering and road alignment projects
  • Calibrating angle-measuring devices in geodetic computations
  • Specifying aiming directions in artillery and military fire control

Tips & Best Practices

  • Ensure proper unit identification to prevent confusion due to different naming conventions
  • Use consistent units when sharing data across disciplines like surveying and engineering
  • Keep in mind that numerical values remain identical between grad and gon units
  • Verify instrument calibration settings correspond to the selected angular unit

Limitations

  • Conversion does not change numerical values as 1 grad equals 1 gon
  • Confusion may arise from regional or disciplinary differences in unit naming
  • Misinterpretation can occur without careful unit identification

Frequently Asked Questions

Are the grad [^g] and gon units different in value?
No, grad [^g] and gon represent the same angular measurement and convert at a 1:1 ratio.

Where are these units commonly used?
They are widely used in land surveying, civil engineering, geodesy, military targeting, and mapping.

Why convert between grad and gon if values are equal?
Converting ensures clarity and consistency when exchanging data or using instruments calibrated in either unit.

Key Terminology

Grad [^g]
An angular unit equal to 1/400 of a full circle, also called gradian or gon, used in surveying and geodesy.
Gon
A plane angle unit equal to 1/400 of a full circle, equivalent to 1 grad and commonly used in engineering and military applications.
