All supported units — radiation dose equivalent
| Unit | Symbol | To sievert (Sv) | From sievert (Sv) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sievert | Sv | 1 Sv = 1 Sv | 1 Sv = 1 Sv |
| Millisievert | mSv | 1 mSv = 0.001 Sv | 1 Sv = 1,000 mSv |
| Microsievert | µSv | 1 µSv = 1e-06 Sv | 1 Sv = 1,000,000 µSv |
| Rem | rem | 1 rem = 0.01 Sv | 1 Sv = 100 rem |
| Millirem | mrem | 1 mrem = 1e-05 Sv | 1 Sv = 100,000 mrem |

Frequently asked questions
What units does this radiation dose equivalent converter support?
It supports 5 units: Sievert (Sv), Millisievert (mSv), Microsievert (µSv), Rem (rem), Millirem (mrem).
What is the base unit of radiation dose equivalent?
The SI reference unit is the sievert (Sv). Every conversion is computed by converting the input to the base unit, then from the base unit to the target unit, so chained precision is preserved.
Is this converter accurate?
Yes. Conversion factors use exact legal definitions where they exist (for example 1 in = 25.4 mm exactly) and CODATA/ISO constants otherwise. Results are shown to up to 10 significant figures.
