What Is This Tool?

This tool helps you convert absorbed dose rates measured in centigray per second (cGy/s) to dekagray per second (daGy/s). It is designed for radiation measurement contexts such as radiotherapy, industrial irradiation, and radiation protection.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the absorbed dose rate value in centigray/second (cGy/s).
  • Select centigray/second as the source unit and dekagray/second as the target unit.
  • Submit the input to obtain the equivalent dose rate in dekagray/second (daGy/s).
  • Use the converted value for radiation dose reporting or analysis.

Key Features

  • Converts radiation dose rates between centigray/second and dekagray/second units.
  • Easy-to-use interface for quick conversions.
  • Supports applications across medical physics, radiobiology, and industrial radiation fields.
  • Browser-based converter requiring no software installation.

Examples

  • 50 cGy/s converts to 0.05 daGy/s.
  • 200 cGy/s converts to 0.2 daGy/s.

Common Use Cases

  • Specifying beam delivery rates in external-beam radiotherapy.
  • Calibrating dosimeters for medical physics and radiobiology experiments.
  • Reporting absorbed dose rates in industrial irradiation or sterilization processes.
  • Performing shielding and radiation-protection assessments in nuclear facilities.

Tips & Best Practices

  • Ensure consistent use of SI units during conversion to maintain data accuracy.
  • Use this conversion when expressing very high radiation dose rates for clarity.
  • Calibrate measuring instruments carefully before recording very small or large dose rates.
  • Be aware that converting to dekagray/second can result in small decimal numbers.

Limitations

  • Conversion to dekagray/second may produce very small decimal results requiring precision.
  • Accuracy depends on calibrated instruments and consistent unit standards.
  • Does not account for variations beyond SI unit definitions or measurement uncertainties.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does centigray per second measure?
Centigray per second (cGy/s) quantifies the rate of absorbed radiation dose, representing how quickly radiation energy is deposited in matter.

Why convert from cGy/s to daGy/s?
Conversion to daGy/s is useful for expressing absorbed dose rates at larger scales, especially in high radiation dose applications like industrial irradiation or radiobiology.

Can this conversion be used in medical radiation therapy?
Yes, this conversion is commonly applied in medical radiation therapy, radiation protection, and related research fields.

Key Terminology

Centigray per second (cGy/s)
A unit of absorbed radiation dose rate equal to 0.01 gray per second, indicating how rapidly radiation energy is deposited.
Dekagray per second (daGy/s)
A derived SI unit of absorbed dose rate equal to 10 gray per second, used for expressing high instantaneous radiation dose rates.
Absorbed dose rate
The rate at which energy from ionizing radiation is deposited in a given mass of matter, measured in units such as cGy/s or daGy/s.
