What does one megagray represent?

One megagray (MGy) equals one million grays and measures very large absorbed radiation doses relevant to radiation-damage studies.

How do I convert megagray to dekagray?

Multiply the megagray value by 100,000 to get the equivalent dekagray dose.

When should I use dekagray instead of megagray?

Use dekagray for intermediate absorbed doses where megagray units are unnecessarily large, such as radiation protection or irradiation processes.

Common Use Cases

Expressing extremely large absorbed radiation doses in more manageable dekagray units
Facilitating clearer communication in radiation-damage and radiation-hardness testing
Reporting radiation doses in nuclear safety and high-intensity experimental scenarios
Planning radiotherapy treatments and evaluating industrial irradiation processes

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure numerical precision during conversion to avoid dose reporting errors
Use dekagray units for intermediate dose levels where megagray units are too large
Select megagray units for describing the most extreme radiation exposures
Verify unit definitions to maintain clarity in scientific and industrial contexts

Limitations

Due to the large scale difference, dose values require careful handling to preserve accuracy
Dekagray units may be unsuitable for very high doses where megagray is more appropriate
