Formula

Formula
mGal = cm/s² × 1000

Multiply any value in centimetres per second squared (Gal) by 1000 to obtain the value in milligals.

Worked example

Convert 1 cm/s² to mGal.

  1. 01Start with 1 cm/s².
  2. 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 1 × 1000 = 1000 mGal.
Result1 cm/s² = 1000 mGal

FAQ

What is the conversion factor from cm/s² to mGal?
1 cm/s² equals 1000 mGal. To convert, multiply the value in centimetres per second squared (Gal) by 1000.
How do I convert 1 cm/s² to mGal?
1 cm/s² = 1000 mGal. For any value, multiply by 1000.
How do I convert mGal back to cm/s²?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 0.001. So 1 mGal = 0.001 cm/s².
When would I need to convert centimetre per second squared (Gal) to milligal?
Acceleration conversions between cm/s² and mGal are common in vibration analysis, seismic load calculations, mechanical equipment specifications, and motion-control design. m/s² is the SI standard; g (standard gravity) is widely used in shock, vibration, and ride-quality work.
Is the conversion exact?
The factor shown is precise to at least 7 significant figures. For most process-engineering work this is far better than instrument accuracy. For metrology or trade applications, refer to the relevant national standard (NIST, BIPM, ISO 80000).
