How to Convert Mils to Radians
To convert from mils to radians, you multiply the angle in mils by π/3200. For more information about mils as a unit of measurement, visit our mils page.
Formula
Radians = Mils × (π / 3200)
or
rad = mil × 0.00098175
Step-by-step process
- Take the angle in mils.
- Multiply it by 0.00098175 (or π/3200).
- The result is the equivalent angle in radians.
Examples
- 100 mil = 100 × (π / 3200) = 0.098175 rad
- 800 mil = 800 × (π / 3200) = 0.7854 rad (π/4)
- 1600 mil = 1600 × (π / 3200) = 1.5708 rad (π/2)
- 3200 mil = 3200 × (π / 3200) = 3.1416 rad (π)
When to Convert Mils to Radians
This conversion is useful when you need to use military angular measurements in mathematical or scientific calculations that require radians.
Mathematics
Radians are the standard unit of angular measure in calculus and other higher mathematics.
Physics and Engineering
Many formulas in physics and engineering, particularly those involving rotational motion, require angles to be in radians.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a mil?
A mil is a unit of angle used in military contexts. There are 6400 mils in a full circle.
What is a radian?
A radian is the angle subtended at the center of a circle by an arc that is equal in length to the radius of the circle. There are 2π radians in a full circle.
How do I convert radians to mils?
To convert from radians to mils, you multiply the angle in radians by 3200/π. For example, π/2 radians is equal to (π/2) * (3200/π) = 1600 mil.
