What Is This Tool?
This converter allows you to translate radiation absorbed dose values from millirad, a legacy unit commonly used in medical and environmental dosimetry, into hectogray, a large SI-derived unit applied in industrial radiation processing and high-dose testing.
How to Use This Tool?
- Enter the radiation dose value in millirad (mrd) into the input field.
- Select 'millirad [mrd]' as the source unit and 'hectogray [hGy]' as the target unit.
- Click the convert button to get the equivalent absorbed dose in hectogray.
- Review the output, which translates small legacy units into large SI multiples suited for high-dose applications.
Key Features
- Converts absorbed radiation dose values from millirad to hectogray accurately.
- Supports unit translation between legacy low-dose units and modern high-dose SI multiples.
- Ideal for medical, environmental, industrial, and dosimetry applications.
- Provides quick and easy browser-based conversion with no installation required.
Examples
- 500 millirad [mrd] equals 0.00005 hectogray [hGy].
- 1,000,000 millirad [mrd] converts to 0.1 hectogray [hGy].
Common Use Cases
- Reporting or comparing small diagnostic X‑ray doses and historical medical dosimetry values.
- Environmental and occupational dose monitoring at low-level exposures.
- Calibration and specification of radiation survey meters and dosimeters that use rad-based measurements.
- Industrial radiation processing such as sterilization or material modification where high-dose units apply.
- Radiation-hardness testing of electronics and materials at elevated absorbed doses.
- Documentation of very high absorbed doses in accident dosimetry and specialized laboratories.
Tips & Best Practices
- Ensure numerical precision due to very small conversion factors involved.
- Confirm unit consistency to avoid errors when switching between legacy and SI units.
- Use this conversion mainly when translating legacy low-dose measurements into high-dose context units.
- Understand that millirad is largely superseded by gray units in modern radiation measurements.
Limitations
- Converting involves very small factors, making precision critical to prevent inaccuracies.
- Millirad is a legacy unit rarely used in current scientific and medical practice.
- Hectogray denotes very large absorbed doses, so conversion is unusual for typical low to moderate radiation levels.
Frequently Asked Questions
- What does millirad measure?
- Millirad (mrd) quantifies absorbed radiation dose and is one thousandth of a rad, an older CGS unit representing energy deposited by ionizing radiation.
- What is a hectogray used for?
- Hectogray (hGy) is used to express very high absorbed radiation doses, such as those in industrial radiation processing or radiation-hardness testing.
- Why convert millirad to hectogray?
- Converting millirad to hectogray translates small legacy dose values into large SI multiples, aiding compatibility with industrial, dosimetry, and calibration applications.
Key Terminology
- Millirad [mrd]
- A legacy unit of absorbed radiation dose equal to one thousandth of a rad, representing a small ionizing radiation dose.
- Hectogray [hGy]
- An SI-derived unit corresponding to 100 grays, used for measuring very high absorbed radiation doses.
- Absorbed Dose
- The amount of energy imparted by ionizing radiation to a unit mass of material.
