Convert Rads per second to Rads per minute
Convert Rads per second (rad/s) to Rads per minute (rad/min) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
rad/min = rad/s × 60
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.
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.
