What Is This Tool?

This unit converter enables you to change angles measured in grads—a decimal-based angular unit commonly used in surveying and geodesy—into right angles, which represent exactly 90 degrees. It simplifies translating between these two angular unit systems.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the angle value in grads you wish to convert
  • Select 'grad [^g]' as the input unit and 'right angle' as the output unit
  • Click the convert button to see the equivalent right angle value
  • Use the conversion results for your engineering, surveying, or geometric calculations

Key Features

  • Converts angle values from grad to right angle quickly
  • Supports decimal subdivision of angular measurements
  • Ideal for applications in surveying, engineering, and construction
  • Browser-based and easy to use with no installations required

Examples

  • 50 grad equals 0.5 right angle
  • 100 grad equals 1 right angle

Common Use Cases

  • Land surveying and topographic mapping for bearing and angle measurements
  • Civil engineering and road design where decimal angular units aid calculations
  • Mechanical design and construction requiring exact 90° corner references
  • Geodetic computations and calibration of angular instruments

Tips & Best Practices

  • Verify measurement precision when converting angles to ensure exact perpendicularity
  • Use this tool for quick reference to relate decimal-based angles to right angle formats
  • Apply conversions carefully in large or complex angle scenarios due to approximation limits
  • Confirm units are correctly selected before conversion to avoid errors

Limitations

  • Right angles are fixed at exactly 90°, so some approximations may occur converting complex angles from grad units
  • Precision is critical in applications requiring exact perpendicular measurements
  • Decimal subdivision of grad units simplifies calculations but may not substitute high-precision measurement needs

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a grad unit?
A grad, also called gradian or gon, is an angular measure equal to one four-hundredth of a full circle, often used in surveying and civil engineering.

How many grads make a right angle?
One right angle equals 100 grads since a right angle is one quarter of a full circle.

Why convert from grad to right angle?
Converting helps relate a decimal-based angle system to the more conventional 90-degree right angle used in construction, engineering, and geometry.

Key Terminology

Grad (gradian or gon)
An angular unit equal to 1/400 of a full circle, used for decimal-based angle measurements mainly in surveying and geodesy.
Right angle
An angle measuring exactly 90 degrees (π/2 radians), formed by two perpendicular lines or planes, representing one quarter of a full rotation.
