Convert mil to grad
Please provide values below to convert mil [mil] to grad [^g], or Convert grad to mil.
1 mil = 0.0625 ^g. To convert mil to grad, multiply the value by 0.0625; to go the other way, divide by it (1 ^g = 16 mil). Both units measure angle and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 mil = 0.0625 ^g
- 1 ^g = 16 mil
- 10 mil = 0.625 ^g
- 100 mil = 6.25 ^g
How to Convert Mil to Grad
1 mil = 0.0625 ^g
Example: convert 15 mil to ^g:
15 mil = 15 × 0.0625 ^g = 0.9375 ^g

Mil
A mil is a unit of angular measurement equal to one thousandth of a radian, used primarily in military and engineering contexts to measure small angles.
History/Origin
The mil originated from military applications, particularly in artillery and targeting, where precise small-angle measurements are necessary. It has been adopted in various fields for its convenience in measuring small angles and distances.
Current Use
Today, the mil is used in military artillery, surveying, and engineering to measure small angles accurately. It is also employed in some countries' military and technical standards for precision measurements.
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.
