Convert Grays per minute to Kilograys per second
Convert Grays per minute (Gy/min) to Kilograys per second (kGy/s) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
kGy/s = Gy/min × 1.666666667e-5
About Grays per minute
The gray per minute (Gy/min) is the primary clinical radiotherapy machine output unit. Standard linac dose rates are 1-6 Gy/min at isocentre; stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) uses up to 10 Gy/min; ¹⁹²Ir HDR brachytherapy sources are characterised in Gy/min at 1 cm reference distance. 1 Gy/min = 100 rad/min ≈ 1.67×10⁻² Gy/s.
About Kilograys per second
The kilogray per second (kGy/s) equals 1e3 Gy/s. Encountered in FLASH radiotherapy research at ultra-high dose rates and in high-power industrial electron accelerators for polymer crosslinking and cable curing at pulse-peak intensities; free-electron laser (FEL) and wakefield accelerator beam-loss dosimetry reports cite kGy/s. 1 kGy/s = 1e3 Gy/s = 3.6 MGy/h.
