About Kilograys
The kilogray (kGy) equals 10³ Gy and is the standard unit for radiation processing. Food irradiation: 1-10 kGy for insect disinfestation and sprout inhibition; medical device sterilisation standard dose is 25 kGy (ISO 11137); polymer crosslinking and cable insulation curing use 50-200 kGy. 1 kGy = 10³ Gy = 10⁵ rad.
About Kilorads
The kilorad (krad) equals 10 Gy. Used in radiation hardness testing of electronics for space and military applications: commercial components typically withstand 0.1-10 krad(Si); military-grade components are specified to 100-1000 krad(Si). Semiconductor device qualification standards (MIL-STD-883, ESCC 22900) quote total ionising dose in krad. 1 krad = 10 Gy.
