Calculation Info

The Gal to Standard Gravity (Gal to G?) Converter is a handy tool designed to help you convert acceleration measurements from Gal units to the standard gravity unit, G?. This is useful in fields like geophysics, engineering, and physics where precise acceleration values are needed.

The Gal (Galileo) is a unit of acceleration commonly used in geophysics and earth sciences. One Gal is defined as 1 centimeter per second squared (cm/s²). It measures the rate of change of velocity over time, specifically in the context of gravitational acceleration.

The standard gravity, denoted as G?, is the acceleration due to Earth’s gravity at sea level and is approximately equal to 9.80665 meters per second squared (m/s²). It serves as a universal standard for comparing gravitational accelerations across different contexts.

To convert from Gal to G?, you can use the following formula:
G? = (Gal value) × (0.01) / (9.80665)
since 1 Gal = 0.01 m/s², and G? is 9.80665 m/s². This allows you to easily switch between these units for accurate measurements and calculations.
