What are Grad and Turn

Definition of Grad

A grad, also known as a gon or grade, is a unit of angle measurement in which one grad equals one-hundredth of a right angle. The gradian system divides a full circle into 400 grads, offering an alternative to the common degree-based system. Its use is particularly favored in fields like surveying and civil engineering where finer subdivisions are beneficial.

Definition of Turn

A turn represents a complete rotation or circle and is a unit of angle measurement. It is equivalent to 360 degrees, 2π radians, or 400 grads. The concept of a turn is used in various disciplines, including mathematics, navigation, and mechanical engineering, to express full rotations or cycles.

50 g 0.125 tr
100 g 0.25 tr
150 g 0.375 tr
200 g 0.5 tr
250 g 0.625 tr
300 g 0.75 tr
350 g 0.875 tr
400 g 1 tr

Conversion of Grad to Turn

1 grad = 0.0025 turns
1 turn = 400 grads

Example 1:
Convert 200 grads to turns:
200 grads = 200 × 0.0025 turns = 0.5 turns

Example 2:
Convert 100 grads to turns:
100 grads = 100 × 0.0025 turns = 0.25 turns

History of Grad and Turn

The Grad to Turn Converter has roots in the need for precise angular measurements in various fields like surveying, where the gradian system was once commonly used. As technology evolved, the converter became a vital tool for quickly and accurately converting between these units of measurement.
