Gradians to Mils (NATO) Converter

To convert measurements from gradians to mils, multiply the angle by the conversion ratio of 16 mils per gradian, resulting in the formula: mils = gradians × 16.

How to Convert Gradians to Mils

Let’s break down how you can convert an angle measured in gradians to mils using a simple formula:

Step 1: Understand the Inputs

• Gradian Value: This is the angle you want to convert, measured in gradians. You’ll input this value into the calculator.

Step 2: Know the Conversion Ratio

To convert gradians to mils, we use the conversion ratio of 1 gradian = 16 mils. This means for every gradian, there are 16 mils.

Step 3: Apply the Formula

To calculate the angle in mils, you simply multiply the gradian value by 16.

So, the formula is:

Mils = Gradians × 16

Step 4: Example Calculation

Let’s say you want to convert 5 gradians to mils:

Mils = (5g × 16) = 80 mil

So, 5 gradians is equal to 80 mils.

Step 5: Understanding the Units

A gradian is a unit used to measure angles, especially in construction and engineering contexts. It simplifies measurements, especially for right angles.

A mil, short for milliradian, is used primarily in military and firearm contexts. It helps in precise adjustments of sights and scopes.

And that’s it! You’ve successfully converted an angle from gradians to mils using a simple formula.
