What does 1 dekagray represent?

One dekagray equals 10 grays, where a gray corresponds to one joule of radiation energy absorbed per kilogram of material.

When should I use femtogray units?

Femtogray is used for extremely small energy depositions, often in microdosimetry, radiobiology, or calibration of ultra-sensitive detectors.

Is this converter useful for industrial radiation dose measurements?

Yes, it can convert intermediate industrial irradiation doses when detailed microscopic energy depositions need to be expressed.
