Convert Megagrays to Kilograys
Convert Megagrays (MGy) to Kilograys (kGy) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
kGy = MGy × 1000
About Megagrays
The megagray (MGy) equals 10⁶ Gy. Doses in the MGy range destroy virtually all molecular structures. Radiation chemistry of water reaches radical recombination equilibrium above 1 MGy; neutron-irradiated reactor pressure vessel steels accumulate fast-neutron damage equivalent to 0.01-1 MGy over a 40-year lifetime. 1 MGy = 10⁶ Gy = 10⁸ rad.
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.
