Convert grad to revolution
Please provide values below to convert grad [^g] to revolution [r], or Convert revolution to grad.
1 ^g = 0.0025 r. To convert grad to revolution, multiply the value by 0.0025; to go the other way, divide by it (1 r = 400 ^g). Both units measure angle and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 ^g = 0.0025 r
- 1 r = 400 ^g
- 10 ^g = 0.025 r
- 100 ^g = 0.25 r
How to Convert Grad to Revolution
1 ^g = 0.0025 r
Example: convert 15 ^g to r:
15 ^g = 15 × 0.0025 r = 0.0375 r

Grad
A grad, also known as a gon, is a unit of angular measurement equal to 1/400 of a full circle, or 0.9 degrees.
History/Origin
The grad was introduced in the 19th century as part of the metric system for surveying and military purposes, primarily used in Europe. It was designed to simplify calculations related to angles and bearings.
Current Use
Today, the grad is used mainly in surveying, cartography, and military applications in some countries. It is also employed in certain scientific and engineering contexts where a decimal-based angular unit is preferred.
Revolution
A revolution is a complete turn or rotation around a central point, typically measuring 360 degrees in angular terms.
History/Origin
The concept of a revolution as a full rotation has origins in ancient geometry and astronomy, with the term 'revolution' historically used to describe celestial orbits and rotations in various cultures.
Current Use
In modern contexts, the unit 'revolution' (symbol: r) is used to quantify angular displacement, especially in mechanical and engineering applications, where one revolution equals 360 degrees or 2π radians.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 grad in revolution?
1 grad (^g) = 0.0025 revolution (r).
How do you convert grad to revolution?
Multiply the grad value by 0.0025. For example, 25 ^g × 0.0025 = 0.0625 r.
What is 10 grad in revolution?
10 ^g = 0.025 r.
Which unit is larger, the grad or the revolution?
The revolution is the larger unit: 1 ^g equals only 0.0025 r.
