What is the conversion rate between kilogray and dekagray?

One kilogray (kGy) equals one hundred dekagray (daGy).

In which industries is this unit conversion commonly used?

This conversion is frequently used in medical sterilization, food irradiation, polymer processing, radiotherapy planning, radiation protection, and dosimetry assessments.

Why convert from kilogray to dekagray instead of using gray units?

Dekagray units provide a practical scale for intermediate absorbed doses, avoiding the use of very large or very small units and improving clarity in communication.

What Is This Tool?

This unit converter allows you to convert values from kilogray, a unit used for measuring very high absorbed radiation doses, into dekagray, which expresses absorbed dose in intermediate radiation levels. The conversion simplifies communication of radiation doses in fields such as sterilization, radiotherapy, and materials testing.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the radiation absorbed dose value in kilogray (kGy) into the input field
Select the source unit as kilogray and the target unit as dekagray
Click the convert button to view the equivalent dose in dekagray (daGy)
Review the result, which reflects the conversion using the factor of 100 daGy per 1 kGy
Use the converted value to aid accurate reporting or analysis in your context

Key Features

Converts radiation absorbed dose values between kilogray and dekagray units
Based on the exact conversion rate: 1 kGy equals 100 daGy
Supports input of decimal and whole number values
User-friendly and browser-based with no downloads required
Displays clear results useful for industrial, medical, and scientific use

Examples

A dose of 5 kGy converts to 500 daGy
A dose of 0.1 kGy converts to 10 daGy

Common Use Cases

Expressing sterilization doses for medical devices and pharmaceuticals
Reporting food irradiation treatment levels in industrial processing
Describing polymer modification and materials testing dose ranges
Planning radiotherapy treatments with intermediate dose scales
Assessing radiation protection exposures and accident dose evaluations
Performing dosimetry measurements across different absorbed dose magnitudes

Tips & Best Practices

Choose the unit scale that best matches the dose range for clarity and precision
Use dekagray to present intermediate doses where kilogray units might be too large
Confirm units before and after conversion to prevent misinterpretation
Refer to the exact conversion rate of 1 kGy = 100 daGy to ensure accuracy
Use the tool for quick and reliable conversions in industrial and medical processes

Limitations

Conversion precision may be insufficient for very small or fractional doses when using these units
Selecting inappropriate units may lead to reduced resolution or misunderstandings in critical dose assessments
The tool uses fixed unit definitions and conversion factors and does not calculate dose effects or biological impacts
