What Is This Tool?

This tool converts angle values measured in mil to grad [^g], enabling users to translate small military and optical angle units into decimal-based units widely used in surveying, geodesy, and civil engineering.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the angle value measured in mil into the input field.
  • Select 'mil' as the source unit and 'grad [^g]' as the target unit if not preselected.
  • Click the convert button to see the equivalent angle in grad [^g].
  • Use the converted value for applications like surveying or artillery calculations.

Key Features

  • Converts mil units, commonly used in military and optical contexts, to grad [^g], a decimal-based angular unit.
  • Supports applications in artillery aiming, range estimation, surveying, and civil engineering.
  • Browser-based and user-friendly interface for quick, accurate conversion.
  • Works with commonly accepted definitions and conventions for mil and grad units.

Examples

  • 10 mil converts to 0.625 grad [^g].
  • 160 mil converts to 10 grad [^g].

Common Use Cases

  • Calculating artillery and mortar fire aiming adjustments using mil-based measurements converted to grads.
  • Adjusting rifle scopes and optical instruments that rely on milliradian measurements.
  • Surveying land and producing topographic maps with decimal-based angle units.
  • Performing civil engineering road alignment and geodetic instrument calibration requiring grad units.

Tips & Best Practices

  • Confirm the mil system variant you are using since mil sizes differ by military conventions.
  • Double-check conversions when precision is critical, considering the definitions of mil and grad units.
  • Use this tool to integrate military or optical angle measurements into civilian surveying or engineering workflows.
  • Familiarize yourself with the decimal subdivision of the circle used by grad units for easier calculations.

Limitations

  • The size of a mil varies according to different military standards, affecting conversion accuracy.
  • Grad units are based on a decimal division of the circle, which might not perfectly match mil fractions from other systems.
  • Exercise caution in precision-dependent measurements and verify unit definitions before critical use.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a mil in angle measurement?
A mil is a small unit of plane angle often used in military, surveying, and optics fields, typically representing a milliradian or a fraction of a circle depending on the convention.

Why convert mil to grad?
Converting from mil to grad helps translate military or optical angle measurements into a decimal-based unit widely used in surveying, geodesy, and civil engineering applications.

Are all mil units equal in size?
No, mil units vary by military convention with common values like 1/6400 or 1/6000 of a circle, so conversion depends on the specific mil standard used.

What is the grad unit used for?
The grad, also called gradian or gon, divides a circle into 400 units and is mainly used in land surveying, civil engineering, and geodetic calculations.

Key Terminology

Mil
A unit of plane angle frequently used in military, surveying, and optics, representing a milliradian or a fraction of a full circle depending on the convention.
Grad [^g]
Also known as gradian or gon; an angular unit equal to 1/400 of a full circle, used mainly in surveying, geodesy, and civil engineering.
Milliradian (mrad)
A subunit of radian equal to one thousandth of a radian, often synonymous with mil in some military contexts.
