FAQ

What is the conversion factor from mGal to g?
1 mGal equals 1.019716e-6 g. To convert, multiply the value in milligals by 1.019716e-6.
How do I convert 1 mGal to g?
1 mGal = 1.01972e-6 g. For any value, multiply by 1.019716e-6.
How do I convert g back to mGal?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 980665. So 1 g = 980665 mGal.
When would I need to convert milligal to standard gravity?
Acceleration conversions between mGal 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).
