Convert Kilograys to Nanograys
Convert Kilograys (kGy) to Nanograys (nGy) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
nGy = kGy × 1000000000000
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 Nanograys
The nanogray (nGy) equals 10⁻⁹ Gy. Background cosmic-ray dose rate at sea level is ~0.03-0.05 nGy/s; environmental low-dose-rate studies of DNA damage in cultured cells use nGy doses delivered over days; regulatory derived investigation levels for some radionuclides in food correspond to organ doses in nGy. 1 nGy = 10⁻⁹ Gy = 10⁻³ µGy.
