Convert Rads per hour to Kilograys per hour
Convert Rads per hour (rad/h) to Kilograys per hour (kGy/h) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
kGy/h = rad/h × 1.000000000e-5
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.
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.
