Milliradian to Sextant Converter
Angle · unit-converter
Convert Milliradian to Sextant with a fixed input and output unit, step-by-step formula line, and reference tables. All calculations bridge through radians with fixed definitions (360° per turn, 400 grad per turn, 60′ per degree, 60″ per minute, plus practical units like MOA, urad, and NATO 6400 mils per turn).
About Milliradian
A milliradian is 1/1000 radian. Used in ballistics, long-range shooting, and engineering for small angles.
About Sextant
A sextant is one sixth of a full turn: 60° or π/3 radians. It appears in geometry and some traditional angular partitioning.
How to convert milliradians to sextants
1 milliradian equals 0.0009549296585513722 sextant in this tool (via radian):
1 mrad = (0.001 rad ÷ 1.0471975511965976 rad) sextant = 0.0009549296585513722 sextant
Each milliradian carries 0.001 rad and each sextant 1.0471975511965976 rad, so one mrad equals 0.001 ÷ 1.0471975511965976 sextant.
Let θ(mrad) be the angle in Milliradian (mrad), and θ(sextant) in Sextant (sextant). Then:
θ(sextant) = θ(mrad) × (0.001 / 1.0471975511965976)
Equivalently, divide by how many mrad fit into one sextant (rad per sextant divided by rad per mrad):
θ(sextant) = θ(mrad) ÷ 1047.1975511965977
Examples
Example #1: Convert 1 mrad to sextant
1 mrad = 1 mrad × (0.001/1.0471975511965976) sextant = 0.0009549297 sextant
1 mrad = 1 mrad ÷ 1047.1975511965977 = 0.0009549297 sextant
1 mrad × (0.001/1.0471975511965976) = 0.000955 sextant
Example #2: Convert 10 mrad to sextant
10 mrad = 10 mrad × (0.001/1.0471975511965976) sextant = 0.0095492966 sextant
10 mrad = 10 mrad ÷ 1047.1975511965977 = 0.0095492966 sextant
10 mrad × (0.001/1.0471975511965976) = 0.009549 sextant
Summary
To convert Milliradian to Sextant, multiply the value in mrad by (0.001 rad per mrad) / (1.0471975511965976 rad per sextant). Equivalently: value_sextant = value_mrad × (0.001 / 1.0471975511965976). Numerically, 1 mrad equals 0.0009549296585513722 sextant.
Relationship context
Both Milliradian and Sextant are converted by fixed multiples of the radian. Multiplying by (rad per mrad) ÷ (rad per sextant) matches passing through radians, keeping degrees, gradians, arc minutes, NATO mils, and revolutions consistent on the hub.
