Gradians to Arcseconds (grad to ") Converter

1 gradian (grad) = 3,240 arcseconds ("). To convert gradians to arcseconds, multiply by 3,240: 25 grad × 3,240 = 81,000 ".

1 grad = 3240 "
Convert the other way: Arcseconds to Gradians

Quick facts

How to convert gradians to arcseconds

  1. Take the value in gradians.
  2. Multiply it by 3,240 (the number of arcseconds in one gradian).
  3. Round the result to the precision you need.
" = grad × 3,240

Worked example: 25 grad × 3,240 = 81000 ".

To convert arcseconds back to gradians, multiply by 0.000308642, or divide by 3,240.

What is a gradian?

One 400th of a full rotation, so a right angle is 100 gradians. Used in some surveying and European engineering contexts.

What is an arcsecond?

One 60th of an arcminute, or 1/3600 of a degree. Used in astronomy for very small angular measurements, such as star positions.

Frequently asked questions

How many arcseconds are in a gradian?

There are 3,240 arcseconds in 1 gradian (1 grad = 3240 ").

How many gradians are in an arcsecond?
