What does joule/centigram measure?

Joule per centigram quantifies absorbed radiation dose as energy in joules deposited per 0.01 gram of material.

When should I use teragray units?

Teragray is used to represent very large absorbed radiation doses, especially in theoretical, nuclear, or astrophysical studies involving kilogram-scale samples.

How does the conversion between J/cg and TGy work?

One joule per centigram equals 1e-7 teragray, enabling conversion of radiation dose values from small-scale to extremely large-scale units.

What Is This Tool?

This converter allows users to convert absorbed radiation doses from joule per centigram (J/cg), a unit representing energy deposited per 0.01 gram, into teragray (TGy), which measures extraordinarily large absorbed doses per kilogram.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the absorbed dose value in joule per centigram (J/cg).
Select 'joule/centigram [J/cg]' as your input unit.
Choose 'teragray [TGy]' as your target unit.
Click convert to obtain the equivalent dose in teragray.

Key Features

Converts absorbed radiation dose values between joule per centigram and teragray units.
Supports work in nuclear safety, high-energy physics, and astrophysical research contexts.
Browser-based tool with straightforward input and output steps.

Examples

Convert 5 J/cg: 5 × 1e-7 TGy = 5e-7 TGy.
Convert 10 J/cg: 10 × 1e-7 TGy = 1e-6 TGy.

Common Use Cases

Modeling energy deposition in nuclear explosions or severe reactor accidents.
Predicting damage in high-energy accelerator targets and components.
Simulating astrophysical phenomena such as supernovae.
Performing extreme materials testing in pulsed-power facilities.

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure the units correspond to appropriate mass scales to avoid confusion.
Use teragray for extraordinarily high doses measured on kilogram scales.
Apply joule/centigram when working with small sample masses and high dose values.

Limitations

Joule/centigram suits small mass samples with very large doses, while teragray applies to kilogram scales and extreme doses.
Exercise caution when converting doses across different mass scales to prevent misinterpretation.
