What is a teragray (TGy)?

A teragray is an SI-derived unit of absorbed radiation dose equal to 10^12 gray, used for measuring extraordinarily large energy depositions in advanced physics and astrophysics.

What does centigray (cGy) measure?

Centigray measures absorbed ionizing radiation dose equal to one hundredth of a gray and is widely used in medical radiotherapy and dosimetry.

Why convert teragray to centigray?

Converting these units helps relate extreme theoretical or experimental radiation doses to the smaller, more practical doses relevant in medical treatment and radiation safety.

What Is This Tool?

This converter helps you translate absorbed radiation dose measurements from teragray (TGy), a unit for very large energy depositions, into centigray (cGy), which is more frequently used in medical and practical radiation dose assessments.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the absorbed dose value measured in teragray (TGy).
Select teragray as the input unit and centigray as the output unit.
Initiate the conversion to receive the equivalent dose in centigray (cGy).
Use the converted value for relevant scientific or medical applications.

Key Features

Converts radiation absorbed dose units from teragray to centigray.
Supports extremely large dose values relevant in nuclear physics and astrophysics.
Provides a straightforward conversion reflecting the scale difference between TGy and cGy.
Useful for bridging theoretical and practical dose units in research and clinical contexts.

Examples

1 TGy equals 100000000000000 cGy.
0.5 TGy equals 50000000000000 cGy.

Common Use Cases

Modeling very high energy depositions in nuclear detonations or reactor accidents.
Analyzing damage to accelerator targets and components under extreme radiation doses.
Simulating astrophysical events such as supernovae involving large radiation doses.
Relating large theoretical radiation doses to medical and dosimetry scales for treatment planning.

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure you understand that teragray values represent extraordinarily large doses uncommon in medical contexts.
Use centigray units for practical and clinical dose documentation.
Double-check conversions when applying this tool for physics or medical radiation scenarios.
Recognize the scale difference to avoid misinterpretation of dose magnitudes.

Limitations

Teragray is appropriate only for extremely high radiation doses not typical in medical or common industrial fields.
Conversions to centigray require careful interpretation to prevent misunderstanding dose relevance.
This tool does not apply to low or moderate dose ranges where other units may be more suitable.
