What does 1 dekagray per second represent?

1 dekagray per second (daGy/s) is a derived SI unit representing an absorbed dose rate equal to 10 gray per second, describing how quickly radiation energy is deposited in a material.

Why convert from daGy/s to mGy/s?

Conversion from daGy/s to mGy/s translates extremely high absorbed dose rates into smaller units that are more practical for medical, operational, or safety-related dose measurements.

Can the conversion factor change under different conditions?

No, the conversion factor of 1 daGy/s equals 10000 mGy/s is fixed; however, precision and context should be considered when interpreting dose rates.
