What Is This Tool?
This tool enables users to convert values from roentgen, a traditional unit measuring ionization in air due to X- and gamma rays, to millicoulomb per kilogram, a modern unit that quantifies electric charge produced by radiation exposure in dry air.
How to Use This Tool?
- Enter the radiation exposure value in roentgen [R]
- Select roentgen as the starting unit and millicoulomb per kilogram [mC/kg] as the target unit
- Click convert to obtain the equivalent value in mC/kg
- Use the result for calibration, reporting, or interpretation of radiation exposure
Key Features
- Converts legacy roentgen values to millicoulomb per kilogram
- Suitable for radiation exposure measurements in medical and industrial contexts
- Supports calibration and assessment of radiation instruments
- Browser-based and easy to use
- Helps update older radiation data to SI-compatible units
Examples
- 5 Roentgen [R] converts to 1.29 Millicoulomb/kilogram [mC/kg]
- 10 Roentgen [R] converts to 2.58 Millicoulomb/kilogram [mC/kg]
Common Use Cases
- Calibrating X-ray and gamma-ray radiation survey meters and ionization chambers
- Interpreting historical radiation survey data recorded in roentgens
- Monitoring radiation output from medical imaging and radiotherapy equipment
- Performing regulatory compliance and workplace radiation protection measurements
Tips & Best Practices
- Ensure instruments are properly calibrated before converting measurement units
- Use this tool to update older radiation exposure results to modern SI units
- Be aware that conversion applies specifically to ionization in dry air
- Confirm environmental and device conditions to maintain conversion relevance
Limitations
- Roentgen measures ionization in dry air only, not absorbed dose in tissue
- Millicoulomb/kilogram reflects charge per mass of air and is distinct from dose units
- Conversion accuracy relies on correct calibration and stable environmental factors
Frequently Asked Questions
- What does the roentgen unit measure?
- Roentgen measures the ionization produced by X-ray and gamma radiation in dry air.
- Why convert roentgen to millicoulomb per kilogram?
- Converting helps update legacy radiation exposure data to modern SI units for calibration and regulatory use.
- Is millicoulomb per kilogram the same as absorbed dose?
- No, millicoulomb per kilogram quantifies charge produced in air, not the absorbed dose in tissue.
Key Terminology
- Roentgen [R]
- A legacy unit measuring ionization in dry air caused by X-rays and gamma rays, defined as producing 2.58×10⁻⁴ coulomb per kilogram of air.
- Millicoulomb per kilogram [mC/kg]
- An SI-related unit quantifying the net electric charge of ion pairs in dry air per kilogram from ionizing radiation.
