Rads per second (rad/s)

Conversion Formula

rad/s = kGy/s × 100000

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 second

The rad per second (rad/s) equals 0.01 Gy/s. Used in US radiation therapy physics and pulsed accelerator dosimetry: FLASH radiotherapy (FLASH-RT) research defines ultra-high dose rate as >40 Gy/s = 4000 rad/s; linac prompt radiation dose rates during pulsed operation are characterised in rad/s; nuclear detonation prompt gamma fields are described in rad/s. 1 rad/s = 0.01 Gy/s = 1 cGy/s.
