Sextant to Mil Converter
Angle · unit-converter
Convert Sextant to Mil 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 Sextant
A sextant is one sixth of a full turn: 60° or π/3 radians. It appears in geometry and some traditional angular partitioning.
About Mil
NATO mils split a full circle into 6,400 parts for artillery and tactical optics; 1 mil = 2π/6400 rad.
How to convert sextants to mils (nato, 6400)
1 sextant equals 1066.6666666666665 mil in this tool (via radian):
1 sextant = (1.0471975511965976 rad ÷ 0.0009817477042468104 rad) mil = 1066.6666666666665 mil
Each sextant carries 1.0471975511965976 rad and each mil 0.0009817477042468104 rad, so one sextant equals 1.0471975511965976 ÷ 0.0009817477042468104 mil.
Let θ(sextant) be the angle in Sextant (sextant), and θ(mil) in Mil (mil). Then:
θ(mil) = θ(sextant) × (1.0471975511965976 / 0.0009817477042468104)
Equivalently, divide by how many sextant fit into one mil (rad per mil divided by rad per sextant):
θ(mil) = θ(sextant) ÷ 0.0009375000000000002
Examples
Example #1: Convert 1 sextant to mil
1 sextant = 1 sextant × (1.0471975511965976/0.0009817477042468104) mil = 1066.66666667 mil
1 sextant = 1 sextant ÷ 0.0009375000000000002 = 1066.66666667 mil
1 sextant × (1.0471975511965976/0.0009817477042468104) = 1,066.666667 mil
Example #2: Convert 10 sextant to mil
10 sextant = 10 sextant × (1.0471975511965976/0.0009817477042468104) mil = 10666.6666667 mil
10 sextant = 10 sextant ÷ 0.0009375000000000002 = 10666.6666667 mil
10 sextant × (1.0471975511965976/0.0009817477042468104) = 10,666.666667 mil
Summary
To convert Sextant to Mil, multiply the value in sextant by (1.0471975511965976 rad per sextant) / (0.0009817477042468104 rad per mil). Equivalently: value_mil = value_sextant × (1.0471975511965976 / 0.0009817477042468104). Numerically, 1 sextant equals 1066.6666666666665 mil.
Relationship context
Both Sextant and Mil are converted by fixed multiples of the radian. Multiplying by (rad per sextant) ÷ (rad per mil) matches passing through radians, keeping degrees, gradians, arc minutes, NATO mils, and revolutions consistent on the hub.
