What does joule per centigram (J/cg) measure?

Joule per centigram measures absorbed radiation dose as energy deposited per mass of 0.01 gram, commonly used for large energy depositions in small samples.

How is joule per milligram (J/mg) used in radiation measurements?

Joule per milligram expresses the energy absorbed by one milligram of material, which is useful for milligram-scale samples in radiobiology and microfabrication.

What is the conversion rate between J/cg and J/mg?

1 joule per centigram equals 0.1 joule per milligram.

Key Features

Converts absorbed radiation dose units between J/cg and J/mg
Includes practical examples for easy understanding
Supports applications in dosimetry, radiobiology, and material irradiation
Browser-based tool requiring no installation
Helps express dose values scaled to different sample masses

Examples

Convert 5 J/cg to J/mg: 5 × 0.1 = 0.5 J/mg
Convert 10 J/cg to J/mg: 10 × 0.1 = 1 J/mg

Common Use Cases

Expressing absorbed dose for small sample masses in radiation dosimetry
Describing localized energy deposition in thin film or microfabricated component processing
Reporting absorbed energy for milligram-scale laboratory samples in radiobiology
Calculating dose in sterilization or materials testing scenarios where per milligram units are preferred

Tips & Best Practices

Always confirm the mass scale unit before converting to avoid errors in dose magnitude.
Use this conversion when dose reporting requires adaptation to smaller sample sizes.
Cross-check converted results to ensure consistency with experimental or regulatory standards.

Limitations

The conversion applies only when absorbed dose is expressed per unit mass.
It does not convert energy or dose values directly without considering the mass involved.
Users must carefully account for the difference between centigrams and milligrams to prevent misinterpretation.
