Rad per Second (rad/s)
Rad per second (rad/s) equals 0.01 gray per second — the legacy CGS dose-rate unit paired with rad for absorbed dose.
Rad/s appears on older equipment readouts and legacy radiological specifications alongside gray per second.

Exact conversion factors in both directions, plus a worked example.
1 rad/s = 0.01 Gy/s
1 Gy/s = 100 rad/s
To convert rad per second to gray per second, multiply by 0.01.
To convert gray per second to rad per second, multiply by 100.
Example: convert 10 rad/s to Gy/s
10 × 0.01 = 0.1 Gy/s
Short background on the units used in this conversion.
Rad per second (rad/s) equals 0.01 gray per second — the legacy CGS dose-rate unit paired with rad for absorbed dose.
Rad/s appears on older equipment readouts and legacy radiological specifications alongside gray per second.
Gray per second (Gy/s) is the SI unit of absorbed dose rate — one gray of absorbed dose delivered per second.
Gy/s expresses how quickly tissue or material accumulates absorbed radiation dose in radiotherapy planning and industrial irradiation.
Gy/s = rad/s × 0.01rad/s = Gy/s × 100, using the same exact factors as this converter.
