Convert Turns to Milliradians

1 turn is 6,283.19 mrad. One turn is exactly 6283.18530718 milliradians.

One turn is 6283.1853 milliradians. To convert turns to milliradians, multiply by 6283.1853; to go the other way, divide by 6283.1853 or multiply by 1.5915 × 10^-4. The relation is exact but the figure is not: it is a rounding of a number that does not terminate, and it follows from NIST Special Publication 811. One full revolution — 360 degrees, 400 gradians, 2π radians.

Factors are entered by hand from NIST Special Publication 811 rather than derived from a units library, so the ones that terminate are exact rather than rounded.

How do you convert turns to milliradians? The converter and the working

  1. 1.Take the measurement in turns.
  2. 2.Multiply by 6283.1853 — that is how many milliradians fit in one turn.
  3. 3.To go back the other way, divide by 6283.1853, or multiply by 1.5915 × 10^-4.

Worked example: 25 turns to milliradians

Formula
turn × 6283.1853 = mrad
Arithmetic
25 × 6283.1853 = 157,079.63 mrad
Answer
25 turn = 157,079.63 mrad

The factor is rounded for display; the figure above is computed from the full value.

What is a turn?

One full revolution — 360 degrees, 400 gradians, 2π radians. Gear ratios, threads per turn and rotational counts are all stated in these.

What is a milliradian?

A thousandth of a radian, and the unit rifle scopes adjust in: at 100 meters one milliradian moves the point of impact by 10 cm. The military "mil" is a different thing — 6,400 to a turn rather than the true 6,283.

How many milliradians are in a turn?

One turn is 6283.1853 milliradians. Going the other way, one milliradian is 1.5915 × 10^-4 turns. Both figures come from the same defined relation rather than from a measurement, which is why they are the same today as they were in 1959.

Every angle unit here

The whole group — 7 units with their symbols and the size of each one in radians — is on the conversion index, along with every pair it makes. The table above already gives each of them relative to a turn.

Questions people actually ask

How many milliradians are in a turn?
6283.1853. A thousandth of a radian, and the unit rifle scopes adjust in: at 100 meters one milliradian moves the point of impact by 10 cm. The military "mil" is a different thing — 6,400 to a turn rather than the true 6,283.
How do I convert milliradians back to turns?
Divide by 6283.1853, or multiply by 1.5915 × 10^-4 — they are the same operation.
