What does dekagray per second measure?

Dekagray per second (daGy/s) measures the absorbed radiation dose rate, indicating how much ionizing radiation energy is deposited per kilogram of material every second.

When should I use megagray per second for measurements?

Megagray per second (MGy/s) is used to describe extremely high absorbed dose rates, such as those found in high-energy physics experiments or testing radiation hardness of materials.

How do I convert daGy/s to MGy/s?

Multiply the value in daGy/s by 0.00001 to convert it to MGy/s.

What Is This Tool?

This converter transforms radiation dose rates expressed in dekagray per second (daGy/s) into megagray per second (MGy/s). These units measure the rate at which ionizing radiation energy is absorbed in a material. The tool helps users scale values between tens of grays per second and millions of grays per second accurately.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the value in dekagray per second (daGy/s) that you want to convert.
Select dekagray/second [daGy/s] as the input unit and megagray/second [MGy/s] as the output unit.
Click the convert button to get the equivalent value in MGy/s.

Key Features

Converts units of absorbed dose rate from daGy/s to MGy/s using the official conversion factor.
Supports applications in nuclear physics, industrial irradiation, and radiation protection.
Displays results suitable for high-intensity and experimental radiation environments.

Examples

5 daGy/s converts to 0.00005 MGy/s by multiplying 5 × 0.00001.
100 daGy/s converts to 0.001 MGy/s by multiplying 100 × 0.00001.

Common Use Cases

Reporting high instantaneous absorbed-dose rates in industrial irradiation or sterilization processes.
Describing dose rates in pulsed radiotherapy or radiobiology experiments involving intense exposures.
Modeling extreme radiation environments such as nuclear explosions or high-power flash radiography.

Tips & Best Practices

Carefully handle small decimal results due to the large difference in scale between daGy/s and MGy/s.
Use this conversion primarily in scenarios involving extreme or experimental radiation levels.
Verify unit selections to ensure accurate dose rate representation.

Limitations

Conversions often yield very small decimal values that require precise numerical handling.
Megagray per second units are relevant only in very high-dose, experimental, or specialized settings.
