About Coulombs per kilogram
The coulomb per kilogram (C/kg) is the SI derived unit of radiation exposure, equal to 1 coulomb of ion charge liberated per kilogram of dry air. It replaced the roentgen in SI. Calibration of clinical X-ray beams with free-air ionisation chambers and parallel-plate chambers yields results in C/kg. 1 C/kg ≈ 3876 R.
About Kilocoulombs per kilogram
The kilocoulomb per kilogram (kC/kg) equals 10³ C/kg ≈ 3.88 × 10⁶ R. Encountered only in extreme prompt-radiation environments such as nuclear weapon burst regions and high-power flash X-ray facility calibration; at this exposure level all air volumes are multiply ionised and conventional dosimetry models break down. 1 kC/kg = 10³ C/kg.
