Convert Micrograys to Kilograys
Convert Micrograys (µGy) to Kilograys (kGy) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
kGy = µGy × 1.000000000e-9
About Micrograys
The microgray (µGy) equals 10⁻⁶ Gy. Typical organ doses from diagnostic X-ray procedures: chest X-ray ~0.01-0.1 µGy; mammography mean glandular dose ~1-3 mGy (i.e. 1000-3000 µGy); dental bitewing ~1-5 µGy. IAEA Safety Reports quote entrance surface doses in µGy for patient dose surveys. 1 µGy = 10⁻⁶ Gy.
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.
