Circles to Mils (NATO) Converter

To convert a measurement in circles to a measurement in mils, multiply the angle by the conversion ratio: 6,400 mils/circle. Since one circle is equal to 6,400 mils, you can use this simple formula to convert: mils = circles × 6,400. The angle in mils is equal to the angle in circles multiplied by 6,400.

How to Convert Circles to Mils

Converting circles to mils is a simple process. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

1. Understand the Units: First, let’s get familiar with the units involved. A circle represents one full revolution around a point, which is equivalent to 360 degrees. On the other hand, a mil (short for milliradian) is a smaller unit used to measure angles, where 6,400 mils make up one circle.
2. Know the Conversion Ratio: To convert from circles to mils, you need to multiply the number of circles by the conversion ratio, which is 6,400 mils per circle. This means each circle is equivalent to 6,400 mils.
3. Apply the Formula: Now, let’s put this into a formula. To convert circles to mils, simply multiply the number of circles by 6,400.
4. Example Calculation: Suppose you have 5 circles and want to convert them to mils. Using the formula mils = circles × 6,400, you would calculate it as follows:
• mils = (5 cir × 6,400) = 32,000 mil
5. Understanding the Result: The result tells us that 5 circles are equivalent to 32,000 mils. This means if you rotate around a point 5 times, you’ve covered an angle equivalent to 32,000 mils.

That’s it! You’ve successfully converted circles to mils using a simple formula.
