decagray to hectogray
Convert decagray (daGy) to hectogray (hGy). Use an editable absorbed dose converter, conversion formula, and reference table.
1 daGy = 0.1 hGy
Conversion formula
One decagray equals 0.1 hectogray. Multiply your value in decagray by this factor to get hectogray. For the reverse conversion, divide by the same factor.
Worked example
To convert 5 decagray:5 × 0.1 = 0.5 hGy

About these measurements
Absorbed dose measures energy deposited per unit mass.
The base reference used here is the gray. One decagray is 10 base units; one hectogray is 100 base units.
Important distinctions
Physical unit conversion only. Biological effect requires additional information and professional assessment.
Precision
The converter uses stored conversion factors and floating-point arithmetic. Results display up to ten significant digits, switching to scientific notation for very small or large values. Keep the precision of your original measurement when reporting results.
