What are Attogray and Rad

Definition of Attogray

An attogray (aGy) is a unit of absorbed radiation dose. It is part of the International System of Units (SI) and is equivalent to 10^-18 grays. The gray itself is the SI unit of absorbed dose and measures the energy deposited by ionizing radiation in a mass of material, usually tissue. The attogray serves as a convenient measure in fields requiring precision at extremely low radiation levels, such as in certain medical or scientific applications. Its use illustrates the flexibility of the gray unit, scaled down to accommodate minuscule levels of radiation absorption.

Definition of Rad

The rad, short for radiation absorbed dose, is a unit of absorbed radiation dose. It measures the amount of energy that ionizing radiation deposits in a medium, such as tissue or material. One rad is equivalent to 0.01 joules of energy absorbed per kilogram of matter. Although the rad has largely been replaced by the gray in most scientific contexts, it remains in use in some regions and industries. Understanding the rad is crucial for those working with radiation, as it helps gauge the potential biological effects and safety considerations associated with radiation exposure.

Attogray to Rad Conversion Table

Attogray/second (aGy/s) Rad/second (rad/s)
0.01 aGy/s 0.000001 rad/s
0.1 aGy/s 0.00001 rad/s
1 aGy/s 0.0001 rad/s
10 aGy/s 0.001 rad/s
100 aGy/s 0.01 rad/s
200 aGy/s 0.02 rad/s
500 aGy/s 0.05 rad/s
1000 aGy/s 0.1 rad/s
5000 aGy/s 0.5 rad/s
10000 aGy/s 1 rad/s

Conversion of Attogray to Rad

1 aGy/s = 0.0001 rad/s
1 rad/s = 10000 aGy/s

Example 1:
convert 50 aGy/s to rad/s:
50 aGy/s = 50 × 0.0001 rad/s = 0.005 rad/s

Example 2:
convert 350 aGy/s to rad/s:
350 aGy/s = 350 × 0.0001 rad/s = 0.035 rad/s
