Short background on the units used in this conversion.
Coulomb per kilogram (C/kg) is the SI unit of exposure — ionization charge produced per unit mass of air.
C/kg is the modern SI replacement for the roentgen in radiation exposure metrology.
The roentgen (R) equals 0.000258 coulomb per kilogram — the classic unit of photon exposure in air for X-rays and gamma rays.
Roentgens label X-ray tube output, radiographic technique factors, and legacy exposure specifications — the most searched exposure conversion.
R = C/kg × 3,875.9689922481C/kg = R × 0.000258, using the same exact factors as this converter.
