Projection parameters

Transverse Mercator parameters.
Parameter	Value	Unit
Latitude of natural origin	24.45	degree
Longitude of natural origin	51.21666667	degree

False northing	300,000	metre

Example coordinates

A WGS 84 point at longitude 51.185°, latitude 25.375° (inside the area of use) has these coordinates in EPSG:2932:

Computed with PROJ using the EPSG default operation: axis order change (2D) + Inverse of QND95 to WGS 84 (1) + Qatar National Grid.
Axis	Value	Unit
E	196,890.933	m
N	402,387.427	m

At this point the projection scale factor is 0.99999013 and the grid convergence is -0.013570°.

Transformations to WGS 84

Candidate operations from the EPSG Dataset, best first as ranked by PROJ.
Operation	Accuracy	Area of use
axis order change (2D) + QND95 to WGS 84 (1) + axis order change (2D)	0 m	Qatar - onshore.

Transformations change the datum, so each has an accuracy and an area of use. Choose the most accurate one that covers your data and record its name. See datum transformations.

A PROJ string cannot carry every EPSG detail (axis order, datum ensemble, transformations). Prefer WKT2 or the EPSG code itself.

FAQ

What is EPSG:2932?

Where can EPSG:2932 be used?

Its area of use is: Qatar - onshore.

Is EPSG:2932 in metres or degrees?

EPSG:2932 is projected, so coordinates are easting and northing in metres, not degrees.

How do I convert EPSG:2932 to latitude and longitude?

Transform from EPSG:2932 to EPSG:4326 (WGS 84). In GeoCAD Bridge open the coordinate converter with EPSG:2932 preselected, enter easting and northing, and choose WGS 84 as the target.

How accurate is the transformation from EPSG:2932 to WGS 84?

The most accurate EPSG transformation listed here is “axis order change (2D) + QND95 to WGS 84 (1) + axis order change (2D)”, with a stated accuracy of 0 m for Qatar - onshore.. Always check the area of use before applying it.
