Convert Megarads to Kilograys
Convert Megarads (Mrad) to Kilograys (kGy) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
kGy = Mrad × 10
About Megarads
The megarad (Mrad) equals 10⁶ rad = 10⁴ Gy. Used in radiation hardening of electronics and wire/cable insulation: cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) cable insulation is cured at 5-20 Mrad; some legacy radiation hardness assurance (RHA) test reports for space electronics quote doses in Mrad(Si). 1 Mrad = 10⁴ Gy = 10 kGy.
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.
