How much acceleration is 500 mGal?

500 mGal (0.001g) is an imperceptible acceleration — comparable to seismic micro-tremors or tidal forces.

How to Convert Milligal to Galileo

1 milligal = 0.001 galileos

Galileo = Milligal × 0.001

Example: 500 mGal × 0.001 = 12 Gal

Reverse Conversion

To convert galileos back to milligals:

  • Remember, 1 galileo equals 1000 milligals.
  • To convert 12 Gal to mGal, multiply 12 x 1000, resulting in 500 mGal.

500 mGal is also equal to:

  • 0.005 meter per second squared
  • 0.016404 foot per second squared
  • 0.00050986 standard gravity
  • 12 gal
