How to Convert Radians to Mils
To convert from radians to mils, you multiply the angle in radians by 3200/π. For more information about radians as a unit of measurement, visit our radians page.
Formula
Mils = Radians × (3200 / π)
or
mil = rad × 1018.59
Step-by-step process
- Take the angle in radians.
- Multiply it by 1018.59 (or 3200/π).
- The result is the equivalent angle in mils.
Examples
- 1 rad = 1 × (3200 / π) = 1018.59 mil
- π/2 rad = (π/2) × (3200 / π) = 1600 mil
- π rad = π × (3200 / π) = 3200 mil
- 2π rad = 2π × (3200 / π) = 6400 mil

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