Kilogray (kGy) is a unit in the category of Radiation, specific energy. It is also known as kilograys. This unit is commonly used in the SI unit system. Kilogray (kGy) has a dimension of L²T^-2 where L is length, and T is time. It can be converted to the corresponding standard SI unit Gy by multiplying its value by a factor of 1000.

Note that the seven base dimensions are M (Mass), L (Length), T (Time), Q (Temperature), N (Aamount of Substance), I (Electric Current), and J (Luminous Intensity).

Other units in the category of Radiation, specific energy include Gray (Gy), Kerma, Megarad (Mrd), and Rad (rd).
