Spanish term or phrase: Minutos de grado centesimal
This is a thermoelectricity legal document written in Chile. I am not sure about the English equivalent of this term. The context is:

"Giro de los ejes teóricos de la estructura con respecto a los ejes de la subestación: ± 25 *minutos de grado centesimal*."

This is the only context available, because it is a list of specifications and conditions that must be met.

Wikipedia clearly makes a difference between "Grado Centesimal" and "Minuto Centesimal", but this unit seems to be called in a different way in English.

Is "25 gradians" equal to 25 "minutos de grado centesimal"? or should I make a conversion?

Thanks in advance
