About These Units
Kilogray (kGy)
A kilogray (kGy) equals 1,000 grays. Used for industrial irradiation: food preservation 1-10 kGy, medical device sterilization 25-50 kGy, cross-linking polymers 50-200 kGy. Far above any biological survivability.
Microroentgen (μR)
A microroentgen (μR) equals 0.001 mR. Used in environmental radiation monitoring, radon measurements, and low-level contamination surveys. Natural background: 10-20 μR/h typical. Sensitive ion chambers measure in μR/h.
