About Gradian
Definition: The gradian (symbol: gon) divides a full circle into 400 equal parts, designed for decimal convenience in surveying.
History: Developed during French Revolution as part of metric system to decimalize angular measurement for surveying applications.
Current Use: Used in some European surveying, continental mapping, and applications preferring decimal angular systems.
Examples: European surveying: property boundaries, topographic mapping: contour angles, artillery: target coordinates
About Turn
Definition: The turn (symbol: tr) represents one complete rotation or revolution, equal to 360 degrees or 2π radians.
History: Natural unit representing complete rotational motion, used in mechanical systems and rotational applications.
Current Use: Used for describing rotational speed, mechanical rotations, and complete angular motions in engineering.
Examples: Motor rotations: RPM (revolutions per minute), mechanical systems: gear ratios, astronomy: planetary rotations
