Sextant to Milliradian Converter
Angle · unit-converter
Convert Sextant to Milliradian 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 Milliradian
A milliradian is 1/1000 radian. Used in ballistics, long-range shooting, and engineering for small angles.
How to convert sextants to milliradians
1 sextant equals 1047.1975511965977 milliradian in this tool (via radian):
1 sextant = (1.0471975511965976 rad ÷ 0.001 rad) mrad = 1047.1975511965977 mrad
Each sextant carries 1.0471975511965976 rad and each milliradian 0.001 rad, so one sextant equals 1.0471975511965976 ÷ 0.001 mrad.
Let θ(sextant) be the angle in Sextant (sextant), and θ(mrad) in Milliradian (mrad). Then:
θ(mrad) = θ(sextant) × (1.0471975511965976 / 0.001)
Equivalently, divide by how many sextant fit into one mrad (rad per mrad divided by rad per sextant):
θ(mrad) = θ(sextant) ÷ 0.0009549296585513722
Examples
Example #1: Convert 1 sextant to milliradian
1 sextant = 1 sextant × (1.0471975511965976/0.001) mrad = 1047.1975512 mrad
1 sextant = 1 sextant ÷ 0.0009549296585513722 = 1047.1975512 mrad
1 sextant × (1.0471975511965976/0.001) = 1,047.197551 mrad
Example #2: Convert 10 sextant to milliradian
10 sextant = 10 sextant × (1.0471975511965976/0.001) mrad = 10471.975512 mrad
10 sextant = 10 sextant ÷ 0.0009549296585513722 = 10471.975512 mrad
10 sextant × (1.0471975511965976/0.001) = 10,471.975512 mrad
Summary
To convert Sextant to Milliradian, multiply the value in sextant by (1.0471975511965976 rad per sextant) / (0.001 rad per mrad). Equivalently: value_mrad = value_sextant × (1.0471975511965976 / 0.001). Numerically, 1 sextant equals 1047.1975511965977 mrad.
Relationship context
Both Sextant and Milliradian are converted by fixed multiples of the radian. Multiplying by (rad per sextant) ÷ (rad per mrad) matches passing through radians, keeping degrees, gradians, arc minutes, NATO mils, and revolutions consistent on the hub.
