What does kilogray per second measure?

Kilogray per second measures the absorbed radiation dose rate, indicating the energy deposited by ionizing radiation per unit mass and time.

Why convert kGy/s to TGy/s?

Converting to teragray per second helps express very large radiation dose rates in a more manageable and standardized unit for research and industrial purposes.

Are these conversions used in practical industrial applications?

Yes, they are used extensively in radiation processing, nuclear physics, accelerator technology, and other fields requiring measurement of high radiation dose rates.
