What is an exagray (EGy)?

The exagray is an SI multiple of the gray equal to 10^18 grays, primarily used to express extraordinarily large radiation absorbed doses in scientific or theoretical contexts.

Why convert exagray to hectogray?

Converting exagray to hectogray helps express extremely large absorbed doses in units suitable for industrial, laboratory, or experimental reporting.

Where is the hectogray commonly used?

The hectogray is used for intermediate high doses in industrial radiation processing, radiation-hardness testing, and high-dose dosimetry calibration.

Tips & Best Practices

Confirm the input value is in exagray to avoid conversion errors
Use the converted hectogray values to communicate doses relevant in practical settings
Apply this conversion when bridging theoretical and experimental radiation dose reports
Refer to conversion factors carefully due to the exagray's extremely large magnitude
Ensure the units used align with the context of your radiation measurement or analysis

Limitations

The exagray unit is seldom applied outside theoretical or astrophysical studies
Practical radiation dose measurements often use smaller units like kilogray or megagray
Conversion to hectogray mainly aids translating enormous theoretical doses to workable scales
Not suitable for routine radiation dose reporting due to the exagray’s vast scale
