What Is This Tool?

This tool converts angle measurements from revolutions to grads. A revolution represents one complete turn, while a grad divides a circle into 400 parts. The converter helps express rotational measurements in a decimal-based angular unit, widely used in surveying, engineering, and geodesy.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the angle value in revolutions [r] into the input field
  • Select the starting unit as revolution [r]
  • Choose the target unit as grad [^g]
  • Click on the convert button to obtain the result in grads
  • Use the converted value for surveying, engineering, or related calculations

Key Features

  • Converts angular measurements from revolution [r] to grad [^g]
  • Supports angle calculations for mechanical, astronomical, and surveying uses
  • Provides straightforward formula-based conversion with real examples
  • Ideal for professionals in civil engineering, robotics, and geodesy
  • Browser-based and easy to use without any installation

Examples

  • Converting 0.5 revolution: 0.5 × 400 = 200 grads
  • Converting 2 revolutions: 2 × 400 = 800 grads

Common Use Cases

  • Specifying rotations or speeds of motors and shafts in mechanical devices
  • Measuring wheel or encoder turns in robotics and odometers
  • Determining rotational periods of astronomical objects
  • Expressing bearings and angles in land surveying and topographic mapping
  • Simplifying angle measurements in civil engineering and road alignment
  • Calibrating and computing angles in geodetic instruments

Tips & Best Practices

  • Ensure input values represent complete or fractional rotations when relevant
  • Use the decimal-based grad unit for easier angle subdivision and calculations
  • Apply this conversion when precise fractional angle units benefit surveying or engineering tasks
  • Be mindful that revolutions count full turns, so conversions assume smooth continuous rotation
  • Verify mechanical or instrument precision when interpreting converted angle values

Limitations

  • Revolutions represent discrete full rotations and are dimensionless counts
  • Grads provide fractional subdivisions of a circle, so assumptions of continuous rotation apply
  • Mechanical inaccuracies or instrument precision limits may affect conversion accuracy
  • This converter does not account for physical measurement errors or rounding

Frequently Asked Questions

What does one revolution represent?
One revolution corresponds to a full 360° turn or 2π radians, representing a complete rotation about an axis.

Why use grads instead of degrees?
Grads divide a circle into 400 units providing a decimal subdivision which simplifies calculations, especially in surveying and engineering.

Can this tool convert partial revolutions?
Yes, partial revolutions can be entered and converted to grads using the provided formula.

Key Terminology

Revolution [r]
An angular unit representing one full 360° rotation about an axis, equal to 2π radians, used to count complete turns.
Grad [^g]
An angular unit dividing a circle into 400 parts, providing decimal subdivision, primarily used in surveying and engineering.
