What Is This Tool?

This converter helps you transform angle values measured in turns—representing full rotations—into grads, which subdivide a circle decimally into 400 parts. It supports applications in fields such as surveying, civil engineering, and robotics, enabling clear and precise angle conversions.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the angle value in turns that you want to convert
  • Select 'turn' as the input unit and 'grad [^g]' as the output unit
  • Initiate the conversion to see the equivalent angle in grads
  • Review the result, which is calculated using the relation 1 turn = 400 grads
  • Use the converted value in your specific field such as surveying or robotics

Key Features

  • Converts angle units from turn to grad [^g] accurately
  • Supports use cases in surveying, engineering, geodesy, and computer graphics
  • Displays conversions using the formula: 1 turn = 400 grad [^g]
  • Facilitates handling of fractional turns for detailed angular measurements
  • Ideal for converting rotational measurements into decimal-based grad units

Examples

  • 0.5 turn converts to 200 grad [^g], representing half a full rotation
  • 0.25 turn converts to 100 grad [^g], equivalent to a right angle
  • Convert fractional turns to grads for precise angular values as needed

Common Use Cases

  • Specifying mechanical shaft rotations and gear turns
  • Measuring phase shifts in wave and signal analysis
  • Land surveying and topographic mapping with decimal angle units
  • Civil engineering tasks involving road alignment and shaping
  • Orientations in computer graphics, animation, and robotics
  • Calibration of angle-measuring instruments in geodetic computations

Tips & Best Practices

  • Double-check fractional turn inputs to ensure accurate grad conversions
  • Use this tool in contexts where decimal-based angle units simplify calculations
  • Be aware of industry-specific preferences for angle units when sharing data
  • Combine this conversion with other tools for comprehensive angular analysis

Limitations

  • Accuracy depends on careful calculation of fractional turns
  • Grads are less commonly used worldwide compared to degrees or radians
  • Some standard measurement tools may not support grad units
  • Conversions should be verified to avoid errors in precision-critical tasks

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a turn unit?
A turn represents one full rotation around a circle, equivalent to 360 degrees or 2π radians.

Why convert from turn to grad [^g]?
Converting to grad units allows using a decimal-based subdivision of a circle, which simplifies calculations in surveying, engineering, and geodesy.

How is the conversion from turn to grad calculated?
One turn equals 400 grad, so multiply the number of turns by 400 to get the equivalent grad value.

Key Terminology

Turn
A unit of plane angle representing one complete rotation around a circle.
Grad [^g]
Also called gradian or gon; an angular unit equal to 1/400 of a circle, used for decimal subdivisions.
Phase Shift
A difference in phase between two signals or waves, often measured in turns or degrees.
