Microgal To Milligal (?Gal To Mgal) Converter

The Microgal to Milligal (?gal to Mgal) Converter is a simple tool designed to help you easily convert acceleration measurements from microgals to milligals. Both units are used primarily in geophysics and seismology to measure very small accelerations of Earth’s surface.

A microgal (?gal) is a unit of acceleration equal to one millionth of a gal. The gal (Gal) itself is a unit of acceleration named after Galileo Galilei, and it is defined as exactly 1 centimeter per second squared (cm/s²). So, 1 gal = 1 cm/s², and 1 ?gal = 0.000001 gal.

A milligal (mgal) is a larger unit, equal to one thousandth of a gal. Therefore, 1 mgal = 0.001 gal. It is commonly used in geophysical measurements to express small variations in acceleration.

To convert from microgals to milligals, you can use the following formula:
Value in mgal = Value in ?gal ÷ 1000

Similarly, to convert from milligals back to microgals, multiply the value in milligals by 1000:
Value in ?gal = Value in mgal × 1000

This converter makes it quick and easy to switch between these units, ensuring accurate measurements and calculations in your scientific or engineering projects involving tiny accelerations.
