Converting from Kilogray (kGy) to Millirad (mrd) | Radiation

What is Kilogray (kGy)

Kilogray (kGy) is a unit of ionizing radiation dose equivalent to 1000 gray (Gy). It is commonly used in medical and industrial settings to measure absorbed radiation.

What is Millirad (mrd)

Millirad (mrd) is a smaller unit of ionizing radiation dose equal to one thousandth of a rad. It is often used in environmental monitoring and scientific research to quantify low levels of radiation.

Conversion Formulas

To convert from Kilogray (kGy) to Millirad (mrd), you can use the following formula:

kGy=mrd×100000000

To convert from Millirad (mrd) to Kilogray (kGy), the formula is:

mrd=kGy×0.00000001

Examples

1. Converting 14 kGy to mrd:

14 kGy=1400000000 mrd

2. Converting 13 mrd to kGy:

13 mrd=0.00000013 kGy

3. Converting 2 kGy to mrd:

2 kGy=200000000 mrd

By using the conversion formulas provided, you can easily switch between Kilogray and Millirad measurements in the field of radiation.
