What does one teragray represent?

One teragray (TGy) is equal to 10^12 gray, an SI unit measuring absorbed radiation dose as energy per kilogram of matter.

Why convert teragray to millirad?

Conversion helps translate large absorbed dose measurements into a legacy unit useful for low-level dose comparisons, historical data, and calibration.

Is millirad commonly used today?

Millirad is a legacy unit and is less common in contemporary scientific communication, but still used in specific calibration and historical contexts.

How to Convert from Teragray [TGy] to Millirad [mrd]

Easily convert radiation absorbed dose measurements from teragray (TGy), an SI-derived unit for extreme doses, to millirad (mrd), a legacy unit suited for small doses and historical comparisons.

What Is This Tool?

This tool allows users to convert values from teragray (TGy) to millirad (mrd), facilitating translation between an SI unit used for measuring extremely large absorbed radiation doses and a legacy CGS unit often applied for low-level dose comparisons and calibration.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the radiation dose value in teragray (TGy).
Choose teragray as the unit to convert from and millirad as the unit to convert to.
Execute the conversion to get the equivalent value in millirad (mrd).

Key Features

Converts radiation absorbed dose values from teragray to millirad.
Supports analysis involving both extremely high and very low radiation dose units.
Useful for research, calibration, and historical dosimetry applications.

Examples

Convert 2 TGy to millirad: 2 × 100000000000000000 = 200000000000000000 mrd.
Convert 0.5 TGy to millirad: 0.5 × 100000000000000000 = 50000000000000000 mrd.

Common Use Cases

Modeling energy deposition in nuclear detonations or severe reactor accidents.
Performing astrophysical simulations and extreme materials testing.
Comparing historical medical dosimetry and low-level environmental radiation doses.
Calibrating and specifying survey meters and dosimeters using rad-based units.

Tips & Best Practices

Understand the significant difference in scale between teragray and millirad units before converting.
Use this converter primarily for contexts involving very large or very small radiation dose assessments.
Verify units carefully when interpreting results due to the legacy status of millirad units.

Limitations

Teragray measures extraordinarily high radiation doses that are far beyond usual environmental or medical levels.
Millirad is designed for very small doses, so conversion results in extremely large numbers.
The legacy nature of millirad means it is less commonly used in modern scientific contexts.
