FAQ

What is the conversion factor from in/s² to mGal?
1 in/s² equals 2540 mGal. To convert, multiply the value in inches per second squared by 2540.
How do I convert 1 in/s² to mGal?
1 in/s² = 2540 mGal. For any value, multiply by 2540.
How do I convert mGal back to in/s²?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 0.0003937008. So 1 mGal = 0.000393701 in/s².
When would I need to convert inch per second squared to milligal?
Acceleration conversions between in/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).
