What does attogray per second measure?

Attogray per second measures absorbed radiation dose rates at an extremely low level, equal to 10^-18 grays per second.

When would I need to convert attogray/second to petagray/second?

This conversion is useful when comparing extremely low radiation dose rates to extremely high rates, such as in specialized research or safety analyses.

Can this converter handle intermediate radiation dose rates?

Due to the large difference in scale between the units, this tool is best suited for very low or very high dose rates rather than intermediate values.
