Wheel Alignment Specifications: Conversion
- 1.00 degree = 60 angular minutes
- 0.75 degrees = 45 angular minutes
- 0.50 degrees = 30 angular minutes
- 0.25 degrees = 15 angular minutes
- 1.00 angular minute = 60 angular seconds
Example
| 0.14 degrees * | 60 angular minutes / degree = | 8.40 angular minutes |
| 0.40 angular / minutes * | 60 angular seconds / angular minute = | 24.00 angular seconds |
|
NOTE:
Angular seconds up to 30 are rounded off, angular seconds beyond are rounded up to 60 angular seconds.
