FAQ

What is the conversion factor from kGal to g?
1 kGal equals 1.019716 g. To convert, multiply the value in kilogals by 1.019716.
How do I convert 1 kGal to g?
1 kGal = 1.01972 g. For any value, multiply by 1.019716.
How do I convert g back to kGal?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 0.980665. So 1 g = 0.980665 kGal.
When would I need to convert kilogal to standard gravity?
Acceleration conversions between kGal and g 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).
