What Is This Tool?
This tool converts radiation absorbed dose measurements from the legacy rad unit to joule per centigram, a unit representing energy deposited per small mass, commonly used for very large dose values in scientific and industrial contexts.
How to Use This Tool?
- Enter the absorbed dose value in rad (rd)
- Select rad as the input unit and joule/centigram (J/cg) as the target unit
- Click convert to obtain the corresponding value in J/cg
- Review results and use them for dosimetry or radiation analysis
Key Features
- Converts absorbed dose values from rad (rd) to joule/centigram (J/cg)
- Supports legacy and modern radiation dose units
- Provides clear conversion formulas and examples
- Browser-based and straightforward to use
Examples
- 10 rad [rd] converts to 1e-6 joule/centigram [J/cg]
- 1,000,000 rad [rd] converts to 0.1 joule/centigram [J/cg]
Common Use Cases
- Translating historical radiotherapy dose records into modern energy-per-mass units
- Reporting occupational or environmental radiation doses where non-SI units remain in use
- Expressing high radiation doses in small material samples during advanced physics or materials science experiments
Tips & Best Practices
- Confirm your dose measurement units before converting to avoid errors
- Use the converter to handle extremely large dose values with proper scaling
- Refer to the provided examples to understand conversion magnitudes
- Remember the rad is a legacy unit—convert to SI units for modern scientific communication
Limitations
- Rad is an older unit less precise than gray or joule/centigram
- Joule/centigram fits very large absorbed doses, not suitable for low-level measurements
- Conversion involves a large scaling factor (1e7), requiring careful attention to accuracy
Frequently Asked Questions
- What is a rad (rd) unit?
- Rad is a legacy unit of absorbed ionizing radiation dose equal to 0.01 gray, measuring energy deposited per mass of matter.
- Why use joule/centigram (J/cg) for dose measurement?
- Joule per centigram quantifies very large absorbed doses as energy per mass, useful for high-intensity radiation applications and small sample masses.
- How do I convert rad to joule/centigram?
- Multiply the rad value by 1e-7 to obtain the equivalent dose in joule/centigram.
Key Terminology
- rad [rd]
- A legacy unit of absorbed radiation dose equal to 0.01 gray, indicating energy deposited by radiation per unit mass.
- joule/centigram [J/cg]
- An energy-per-mass unit quantifying absorbed dose as joules deposited per 0.01 gram, used for very large dose measurements.
- absorbed dose
- The amount of energy from ionizing radiation deposited in a mass of matter.
