Convert Grays per second to Kilograys per hour
Convert Grays per second (Gy/s) to Kilograys per hour (kGy/h) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
kGy/h = Gy/s × 3.6
About Grays per second
The gray per second (Gy/s) is the SI coherent unit of absorbed dose rate, equal to 1 joule per kilogram per second, dimensionally equivalent to W/kg or m²/s³. Used in HDR brachytherapy source strength, FLASH radiotherapy research (>40 Gy/s for normal tissue sparing), and particle accelerator beam-loss dosimetry. 1 Gy/s = 60 Gy/min = 3600 Gy/h = 100 rad/s.
About Kilograys per hour
The kilogray per hour (kGy/h) equals 1e3 Gy/h ≈ 0.278 Gy/s. Industrial radiation processing standard: food irradiation conveyors using ⁶⁰Co or electron beam deliver 1-20 kGy/h; medical device sterilisation tunnels are calibrated in kGy/h; IAEA guidelines for industrial irradiation facilities specify throughput in kGy/h. 1 kGy/h = 1e3 Gy/h.
