Discover the Millirad to Decigray Converter and effortlessly transition between these units of radiation measurement. Developed by Newtum, this tool simplifies your conversion process, ensuring accuracy and saving you time. Explore how this converter can enhance your understanding and application of radiation units.
Millirad, a subunit of the rad, measures absorbed radiation dose. Defined as one-thousandth of a rad, it quantifies energy absorption per unit mass by a material exposed to ionizing radiation. Used extensively in medical, scientific, and industrial fields, millirad facilitates precise radiation assessments. This unit, part of the conventional system, helps in comparing radiation doses across diverse applications, enhancing safety and accuracy in radiation usage.
Definition of DecigrayDecigray, a unit in the International System of Units (SI), measures absorbed radiation dose. Equivalent to one-tenth of a gray, it quantifies energy absorption per kilogram of matter from ionizing radiation. Used in medical and scientific fields, decigray provides precise radiation dose assessments, vital for ensuring safety and effectiveness in treatments and experiments. Its SI affiliation ensures global consistency and precision in radiation measurements.
| Millirad (mrad) | Decigray (dGy) |
|---|---|
| 0.1 mrad | 0.0001 dGy |
| 1 mrad | 0.001 dGy |
| 10 mrad | 0.01 dGy |
| 50 mrad | 0.05 dGy |
| 100 mrad | 0.1 dGy |
| 200 mrad | 0.2 dGy |
| 500 mrad | 0.5 dGy |
| 1000 mrad | 1 dGy |
| 2000 mrad | 2 dGy |
| 5000 mrad | 5 dGy |
1 mrad = 0.001 dGy
1 dGy = 1000 mrad
Example 1:
Convert 50 mrad to dGy:
50 mrad = 50 × 0.001 dGy = 0.05 dGy
Example 2:
Convert 200 mrad to dGy:
200 mrad = 200 × 0.001 dGy = 0.2 dGy
