Convert Kilograys per hour to Grays per minute
Convert Kilograys per hour (kGy/h) to Grays per minute (Gy/min) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
Gy/min = kGy/h × 16.66666667
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.
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.
