Convert Kilograys per second to Rads per minute
Convert Kilograys per second (kGy/s) to Rads per minute (rad/min) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
rad/min = kGy/s × 6000000
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 minute
The rad per minute (rad/min) equals 0.01 Gy/min ≈ 1.67×10⁻⁴ Gy/s. Historically the primary US radiation therapy output unit: cobalt-60 and early linac machines from the 1960s-1980s are documented in rad/min at isocentre; radiation processing conveyor throughput calculations and legacy NIST linac calibrations use rad/min. 1 rad/min = 0.01 Gy/min = 1 cGy/min.
