Convert grad to turn
Please provide values below to convert grad [^g] to turn [None], or Convert turn to grad.
1 ^g = 0.0025 None. To convert grad to turn, multiply the value by 0.0025; to go the other way, divide by it (1 None = 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 None
- 1 None = 400 ^g
- 10 ^g = 0.025 None
- 100 ^g = 0.25 None
How to Convert Grad to Turn
1 ^g = 0.0025 None
Example: convert 15 ^g to None:
15 ^g = 15 × 0.0025 None = 0.0375 None

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.
Turn
A turn is a unit of angular measurement representing a full rotation of 360 degrees or 2π radians.
History/Origin
The concept of a turn as a measure of rotation dates back to ancient civilizations that divided circles into parts for navigation and astronomy. It has been standardized in modern times as a convenient way to express rotations, especially in engineering and physics.
Current Use
The turn is used in various fields such as engineering, robotics, and navigation to describe the amount of rotation or angular displacement, often in contexts where a full rotation is relevant, such as in gear ratios, steering, and angular measurements.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is 1 grad in turn?
1 grad (^g) = 0.0025 turn (None).
How do you convert grad to turn?
Multiply the grad value by 0.0025. For example, 25 ^g × 0.0025 = 0.0625 None.
What is 10 grad in turn?
10 ^g = 0.025 None.
Which unit is larger, the grad or the turn?
The turn is the larger unit: 1 ^g equals only 0.0025 None.
