What is the relationship between dekagray and gray?

One dekagray (daGy) equals ten grays (Gy), where one gray is the absorption of one joule of energy per kilogram of material.

When should I use exagray units?

Exagray (EGy) units are appropriate for extremely large absorbed radiation doses, mainly in theoretical studies, astrophysics, or high-energy physics scenarios.

Can I use this converter for medical radiation doses?

No, because exagrays represent extraordinarily large doses not seen in practical radiation protection or medical contexts, making this converter unsuitable for typical medical dosages.

Supports scientific notation to handle extraordinarily large dose magnitudes.
Ideal for applications in astrophysics, high-energy physics, and theoretical studies.
Browser-based and easy to use without requiring specialized software.

Examples

5 dekagray (daGy) equals 5 × 1e-17 exagray (EGy), or 5e-17 EGy.
10 dekagray (daGy) equals 10 × 1e-17 exagray (EGy), or 1e-16 EGy.

Common Use Cases

Representing absorbed radiation doses on an extremely large scale for astrophysical modeling of extreme gamma-ray bursts or supernova events.
Calculating and comparing massive energy deposits in high-energy physics or nuclear explosion studies.
Expressing very large integrated radiation doses in theoretical or scientific publications.

Tips & Best Practices

Use this conversion when dealing with extraordinarily large radiation doses beyond typical practical ranges.
Double-check unit selections to ensure correct input and output units are used.
Apply this tool primarily in theoretical, astrophysical, or high-energy physics contexts where such large values arise.

Limitations

The exagray unit measures extremely large absorbed doses not encountered in standard medical, industrial, or radiation protection situations.
Converting small or typical doses to exagray can result in precision loss due to the vast difference in magnitude.
This tool is designed for specialized scientific or theoretical uses and is not suited for everyday radiation dose calculations.
