Converting from Rad (rd) to Kilogray (kGy) | Radiation

What is Rad (rd)

Rad (rd) is a unit of absorbed radiation dose. It is a measure of the amount of ionizing radiation absorbed by a material.

What is Kilogray (kGy)

Kilogray (kGy) is a unit of absorbed radiation dose in the International System of Units (SI). It represents one thousand grays.

Conversion Formulas

The basic conversion between Rad (rd) and Kilogray (kGy) is given by:

• kGy=rd∗0.00001

• rd=kGy∗100000

Some common conversions include:

• 1 (rd) = 0.00001 (kGy)
• 1 (kGy) = 100000 (rd)
• 2 (rd) = 0.00002 (kGy)
• 2 (kGy) = 200000 (rd)
• 6 (rd) = 0.00006 (kGy)
• 6 (kGy) = 600000 (rd)
• 9 (rd) = 0.00009 (kGy)
• 9 (kGy) = 900000 (rd)

Examples

1. Converting 4 rd to kGy:

4rd=4∗0.00001=0.00004kGy

2. Converting 3 kGy to rd:

3kGy=3∗100000=300000rd
