What does dekagray per second measure?

Dekagray per second quantifies the rate at which ionizing radiation energy is absorbed in matter, expressed in physical energy deposition terms.

Why convert dekagray/second to rem/second?

Conversion translates absorbed dose rates to biologically weighted dose rates that reflect radiation effects on human tissue, essential for safety evaluations.

Is rem/second still commonly used?

Rem is a traditional unit replaced by sieverts in many regions, but it remains relevant for certain radiation protection scenarios and legacy instruments.

Key Terminology

Dekagray per second (daGy/s): A derived SI unit representing absorbed dose rate equal to 10 gray per second, measuring energy deposited by radiation per kilogram per second.
Rem per second (rem/s): A unit quantifying the biologically weighted ionizing radiation dose delivered to tissue per second, where 1 rem equals 0.01 sievert.
Absorbed Dose Rate: The rate at which radiation energy is deposited in a material or tissue, typically measured in gray per second.
