Rad/second is a unit of measurement used to quantify the rate of radiation absorbed by a material. Specifically, it represents the dose of radiation absorbed in terms of rads per second. The rad is a historical unit that measures the amount of energy deposited by ionizing radiation in a substance, where one rad is equivalent to 0.01 joules per kilogram. While the rad has largely been replaced by the gray in many scientific contexts, rad/second remains useful in certain areas for describing radiation exposure over time.
Definition of Nanogray/secondNanogray/second is a unit used to measure the rate at which radiation energy is absorbed by a material, expressed in nanograys per second. One nanogray equals one-billionth of a gray, where the gray is the SI unit of absorbed radiation dose, representing one joule of energy absorbed per kilogram of material. This unit is particularly useful in fields requiring precise measurement of low levels of radiation exposure over time, such as in medical physics, radiological protection, and radiation therapy. Nanogray/second provides a more granular understanding of radiation exposure compared to larger units.
| Rad/second | Nanogray/second |
|---|---|
| 0.01 rad/s | 100,000 nGy/s |
| 0.1 rad/s | 1,000,000 nGy/s |
| 0.5 rad/s | 5,000,000 nGy/s |
| 1 rad/s | 10,000,000 nGy/s |
| 2 rad/s | 20,000,000 nGy/s |
| 5 rad/s | 50,000,000 nGy/s |
| 10 rad/s | 100,000,000 nGy/s |
| 20 rad/s | 200,000,000 nGy/s |
| 50 rad/s | 500,000,000 nGy/s |
| 100 rad/s | 1,000,000,000 nGy/s |
1 rad/s = 10,000,000 nGy/s
1 nGy/s = 0.0000001 rad/s
Example 1:
Convert 5 rad/s to nGy/s:
5 rad/s = 5 × 10,000,000 nGy/s = 50,000,000 nGy/s
Example 2:
Convert 3.5 rad/s to nGy/s:
3.5 rad/s = 3.5 × 10,000,000 nGy/s = 35,000,000 nGy/s
