Formula
mGal = kGal × 1000000
Multiply any value in kilogals by 1000000 to obtain the value in milligals.
Worked example
Convert 1 kGal to mGal.
- 01Start with 1 kGal.
- 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 1 × 1000000 = 1.00000e+6 mGal.
Result1 kGal = 1.00000e+6 mGal

FAQ
What is the conversion factor from kGal to mGal?
1 kGal equals 1000000 mGal. To convert, multiply the value in kilogals by 1000000.
How do I convert 1 kGal to mGal?
1 kGal = 1.00000e+6 mGal. For any value, multiply by 1000000.
How do I convert mGal back to kGal?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 1e-6. So 1 mGal = 1e-6 kGal.
When would I need to convert kilogal to milligal?
Acceleration conversions between kGal 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).
