Convert Rads per hour to Rads per second
Convert Rads per hour (rad/h) to Rads per second (rad/s) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
rad/s = rad/h × 0.0002777777778
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 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.
