Kerma-rate constant
The quantity kerma rate constant (k) makes it possible to convert becquerel (Bq) to gray (Gy) in the case of radiation from external activity (A):
K = k A t / r2
| K = kerma in air (in Gy) k = kerma-rate constant (in Gy·m2·Bq-1·h-1) A = activity (in Bq) t = exposuretime (in h) r = distance from the source (in m) |
There are several variants of this quantity, such as dose rate constant (d), ambient dose rate constant (h), and gamma constant (Γ).
