Formula
Formula
Gy = μGy × 1e-6
Multiply any value in micrograys by 1e-6 to obtain the value in grays.
Worked example
Convert 1.00000e+6 μGy to Gy.
- 01Start with 1.00000e+6 μGy.
- 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 1.00000e+6 × 1e-6 = 1 Gy.
Result1.00000e+6 μGy = 1 Gy

FAQ
What is the conversion factor from μGy to Gy?
1 μGy equals 1e-6 Gy. To convert, multiply the value in micrograys by 1e-6.
How do I convert 1 μGy to Gy?
1 μGy = 1e-6 Gy. For any value, multiply by 1e-6.
How do I convert Gy back to μGy?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 1000000. So 1 Gy = 1.00000e+6 μGy.
When would I need to convert microgray to gray?
Radiation absorbed-dose conversions between μGy and Gy are used in radiological protection, medical physics, and nuclear-industry health physics. Gray (Gy) is the SI standard; rad remains common in older US health-physics documentation (1 Gy = 100 rad).
Is the conversion exact?
The factor shown is precise to at least 7 significant figures. For most process-engineering work this is far better than instrument accuracy. For metrology or trade applications, refer to the relevant national standard (NIST, BIPM, ISO 80000).
