Convert coordinates from WGS 72BE (EPSG:4324) to WGS 72 (EPSG:4322) — official EPSG transformation parameters, accuracy and area of use, with a free in-browser converter.
The EPSG Geodetic Parameter Dataset defines 1 transformation between WGS 72BE (EPSG:4324) and WGS 72 (EPSG:4322). Its parameters, accuracy and area of use are listed below.
| Parameter | Value | Unit |
|---|---|---|
| X-axis translation(tx) | 0 | metre |
| Y-axis translation(ty) | 0 | metre |
| Z-axis translation(tz) | -2.6 | metre |
| X-axis rotation(rx) | 0 | arc-second |
| Y-axis rotation(ry) | 0 | arc-second |
| Z-axis rotation(rz) | 0.26 | arc-second |
| Scale difference(ds) | -0.6063 | parts per million |
The same transformation with common GIS tools and libraries:
from pyproj import Transformer
transformer = Transformer.from_crs("EPSG:4324", "EPSG:4322", always_xy=True)
x, y = transformer.transform(-73.9857, 40.7484)
