What Is This Tool?

This converter transforms an angle measured in right angles, which equal exactly 90 degrees, into mils—a small angular unit widely used in military, surveying, and optical fields.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the angle value in right angles
  • Select right angle as the input unit and mil as the output unit
  • Click the convert button to get the equivalent angle in mils
  • Use the result for precise military, surveying, or optical calculations

Key Features

  • Converts right angles to mil units quickly and accurately
  • Supports common military and surveying angular measurements
  • Browser-based with easy input and output interface
  • Useful for military fire control, range estimation, and optics adjustments

Examples

  • 1 Right angle = 1600 Mil
  • 0.5 Right angle = 800 Mil

Common Use Cases

  • Checking and laying out 90° corners in construction or carpentry
  • Military artillery and mortar fire control for aiming purposes
  • Adjusting rifle scopes using mil-based reticles
  • Surveying and optical alignment in engineering and ballistics

Tips & Best Practices

  • Confirm the mil convention (e.g., NATO 1/6400 circle) before converting
  • Use fractional values carefully when converting angles other than whole right angles
  • Apply conversions in contexts requiring precise angular measurement
  • Verify unit consistency especially in engineering and military applications

Limitations

  • The exact mil value varies according to different military conventions
  • Mil is a small angular unit and may produce very large numbers for larger angles
  • Right angle conversions outside 90° require fractional calculations
  • Specify context to ensure accuracy in conversions

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a right angle?
A right angle is an angle of exactly 90 degrees, formed by two perpendicular lines or planes.

What does a mil represent?
A mil is a small plane angle unit used mainly in military, surveying, and optics, often representing a milliradian or a fraction of a circle.

Why is it important to know the mil convention?
Because the exact value of a mil varies between military systems, knowing the convention ensures accurate conversions.

Key Terminology

Right angle
An angle of exactly 90 degrees formed by two perpendicular lines or planes.
Mil
A small unit of plane angle used in military, surveying, and optics; often denotes a milliradian or a fraction of a circle.
Conversion rate
The fixed ratio used to translate one unit of measurement into another, here 1 right angle equals 1600 mils.
