About These Units
Inch per Second Squared (in/s²)
Inches per second squared (in/s²) equals 0.0254 m/s². Used for small-scale acceleration measurements in mechanical systems, robotics, and vibration analysis. Earth's gravity equals 386.09 in/s². One ft/s² equals 12 in/s².
Microgal (μGal)
A microgal (μGal) equals 10⁻⁶ Gal or 10⁻⁸ m/s². Used in high-precision gravimetry for detecting groundwater changes, volcanic activity monitoring, and fundamental physics experiments. Modern gravimeters achieve ~1 μGal precision.
