Convert Kilograys per second to Rads per hour
Convert Kilograys per second (kGy/s) to Rads per hour (rad/h) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
rad/h = kGy/s × 360000000
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.
About Rads per hour
The rad per hour (rad/h) equals 0.01 Gy/h ≈ 2.78×10⁻⁶ Gy/s. Standard unit on US emergency dosimetry instruments and civil defense survey meters; Chernobyl sarcophagus contact dose rates were hundreds of rad/h; criticality accident dosimetry and NRC incident reports continue to evaluate dose rates in rad/h. 1 rad/h = 0.01 Gy/h = 10 mGy/h.
