Kilogray (kGy) to Sievert (Sv) converter

Converting from Kilogray (kGy) to Sievert (Sv) in Radiation

What is Kilogray (kGy)

Kilogray (kGy) is a unit of ionizing radiation dosage, measuring the amount of energy deposited by ionizing radiation per kilogram of matter.

What is Sievert (Sv)

Sievert (Sv) is a unit of equivalent dose, representing the biological effect of ionizing radiation on human tissue. It considers the type of radiation and its impact on a specific type of tissue.

Conversion Formulas

The default conversion between Kilogray (kGy) and Sievert (Sv) is:

1(kGy)=1000(Sv)

1(Sv)=0.001(kGy)

Other conversions include:

  • 2 (kGy) = 2000 (Sv) and 2 (Sv) = 0.002 (kGy)
  • 9 (kGy) = 9000 (Sv) and 9 (Sv) = 0.009 (kGy)
  • 13 (kGy) = 13000 (Sv) and 13 (Sv) = 0.013 (kGy)

Examples

  1. If you have been exposed to 5 kGy of radiation, the equivalent dose in Sv would be:

5(kGy)×1000=5000(Sv)

  1. Conversely, if the radiation dose is 0.015 Sv, the equivalent dose in kGy would be:

0.015(Sv)×1000=15(kGy)

Use this information to accurately convert between Kilogray (kGy) and Sievert (Sv) measurements in radiation.
