What does decigray per second (dGy/s) measure?

Decigray per second quantifies the absorbed dose rate of radiation, representing one-tenth of a gray deposited per second in a material.

When should I use megagray per second (MGy/s) units?

MGy/s is suitable for expressing extremely high radiation dose rates, such as those in fusion experiments, radiation hardness testing, or high-intensity physics research.

How do I convert from dGy/s to MGy/s?

Multiply the value in decigray per second by 1 × 10⁻⁷ to get the equivalent absorbed dose rate in megagray per second.

Provides quick, browser-based conversion with straightforward inputs and outputs.
Offers clear examples to illustrate conversion steps and results.

Examples

10 dGy/s converts to 1×10⁻⁶ MGy/s by multiplying 10 by 1e-7.
500 dGy/s converts to 5×10⁻⁵ MGy/s using the conversion factor 1e-7.

Common Use Cases

Calibrating radiotherapy equipment and specifying dose rates during medical treatments.
Measuring high-intensity beam dose rates in particle accelerator and radiation processing research.
Characterizing extreme radiation dose rates in inertial confinement fusion or pulsed-power physics experiments.
Testing the radiation hardness of materials and electronics subjected to intense radiation.
Monitoring radiation protection in high-flux environments requiring rapid energy deposition control.

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure accurate unit selection when converting due to the large scale difference between dGy/s and MGy/s.
Use this conversion for applications involving either moderate or extremely high radiation dose rates as appropriate.
Cross-check converted values for scale consistency, especially in safety-critical radiation monitoring.
Understand the context of dose rates to apply the conversion meaningfully in medical or scientific settings.

Limitations

The seven orders of magnitude difference between units mandates careful handling to prevent misinterpretation.
Megagray/second units are generally reserved for extreme radiation environments rather than common medical or environmental uses.
Measurement devices may face constraints in capturing very low or very high dose rates with precision.
