Discover how this resource can streamline your calculations and enhance your understanding of radiation units, sparking your curiosity to delve deeper.
A Millirad is a unit of absorbed radiation dose, representing one-thousandth of a rad. It is commonly used in fields such as radiation therapy and radiobiology to quantify the amount of radiation absorbed by an object or tissue. The rad, short for radiation absorbed dose, measures energy deposited by ionizing radiation in a given mass, with one rad equating to 100 ergs per gram. Millirads allow for more precise measurements in smaller scales, facilitating detailed analysis and accurate assessments in scientific and medical applications where understanding radiation exposure is crucial.
Definition of GigagrayA Gigagray is an enormous unit of absorbed radiation dose, equivalent to one billion grays. The gray (Gy) is the SI unit that measures the energy deposited by ionizing radiation in a kilogram of matter, with one gray equating to one joule per kilogram. Gigagrays are used in high-energy physics and radiation protection contexts, where understanding vast amounts of energy transfer is essential. This unit reflects the scale at which radiation impacts materials and biological tissues, providing a standard for assessing and managing high-dose radiation environments, ensuring safety and precision in advanced scientific research and industrial applications.
| Millirad (mrad) | Gigagray (GGy) |
|---|---|
| 1 mrad | 1e-12 GGy |
| 10 mrad | 1e-11 GGy |
| 100 mrad | 1e-10 GGy |
| 1,000 mrad | 1e-9 GGy |
| 10,000 mrad | 1e-8 GGy |
| 100,000 mrad | 1e-7 GGy |
| 1,000,000 mrad | 1e-6 GGy |
| 10,000,000 mrad | 1e-5 GGy |
| 100,000,000 mrad | 1e-4 GGy |
| 1,000,000,000 mrad | 1e-3 GGy |
1 mrad = 1e-12 GGy
1 GGy = 1e12 mrad
Example 1:
convert 5,000 mrad to GGy:
5,000 mrad = 5,000 × 1e-12 GGy = 5e-9 GGy
Example 2:
convert 3.5 mrad to GGy:
3.5 mrad = 3.5 × 1e-12 GGy = 3.5e-12 GGy
