Formula

Formula
m/s² = mGal × 1e-5

Multiply any value in milligals by 1e-5 to obtain the value in metres per second squared.

Worked example

Convert 100000 mGal to m/s².

  1. 01Start with 100000 mGal.
  2. 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 100000 × 1e-5 = 1 m/s².
Result100000 mGal = 1 m/s²

FAQ

What is the conversion factor from mGal to m/s²?
1 mGal equals 1e-5 m/s². To convert, multiply the value in milligals by 1e-5.
How do I convert 1 mGal to m/s²?
1 mGal = 1e-5 m/s². For any value, multiply by 1e-5.
How do I convert m/s² back to mGal?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 100000. So 1 m/s² = 100000 mGal.
When would I need to convert milligal to metre per second squared?
Acceleration conversions between mGal and m/s² 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).
