deciradian to radian
Convert deciradian (drad) to radian (rad). Use an editable angle converter, conversion formula, and reference table.
1 drad = 0.1 rad
Conversion formula
One deciradian equals 0.1 radian. Multiply your value in deciradian by this factor to get radian. For the reverse conversion, divide by the same factor.
Worked example
To convert 5 deciradian:5 × 0.1 = 0.5 rad

About these measurements
An angle describes rotation between directions.
The base reference used here is the radian. One deciradian is 0.1 base units; one radian is 1 base units.
Important distinctions
A full turn is 360 degrees or 2π radians. Signed angles are permitted.
Precision
The converter uses stored conversion factors and floating-point arithmetic. Results display up to ten significant digits, switching to scientific notation for very small or large values. Keep the precision of your original measurement when reporting results.
