What Is This Tool?

This unit converter helps transform values measured in dekagray, a multiple of the gray unit, into hectogray, a larger SI-derived unit for absorbed ionizing radiation doses. It supports accurate dose reporting for medical, industrial, and research applications.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the radiation dose value in dekagray (daGy).
Select dekagray as the source unit and hectogray as the target unit.
Use the conversion formula to compute the equivalent value in hectogray.
Review the converted result for your application needs.

Key Features

Converts between dekagray (daGy) and hectogray (hGy) units.
Supports radiation absorbed dose measurements in ionizing radiation contexts.
Easy to use with clear conversion formula and practical examples.
Browser-based tool accessible for industrial, clinical, and scientific users.

Examples

5 daGy converts to 0.5 hGy by multiplying by 0.1.
20 daGy converts to 2 hGy using the conversion factor 0.1.
Typical usage includes converting intermediate dose levels for industrial or radiological reports.

Common Use Cases

Expressing radiotherapy treatment totals and dosage planning.
Reporting intermediate high doses in industrial radiation processing and sterilization.
Conducting radiation-hardness testing of electronics and materials.
Performing high-dose accident dosimetry and calibration in dosimetry labs.

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure the conversion matches your dose range to avoid inaccuracies.
Use hectogray units for large-scale dose expression rather than low-level measurements.
Consider clinical or safety requirements when interpreting converted values.

Limitations

Precision is vital for clinical and safety-critical applications.
These units suit large doses; small doses need conversion to smaller units like gray or milligray.
High-dose units may not be suitable for low-level radiation assessments.
