Converting from Milliroentgen (mR) to Millirad (mrd) | Radiation

What is Milliroentgen (mR)

Milliroentgen (mR) is a unit of measurement for ionizing radiation. It quantifies the amount of radiation energy deposited in a specific material by one milliroentgen of X-rays or gamma rays.

What is Millirad (mrd)

Millirad (mrd) is another unit used to measure ionizing radiation, commonly in the context of absorbed dose. One millirad is equivalent to the absorption of 0.001 joules of energy from ionizing radiation per kilogram of matter.

Conversion Formulas

The default conversion rates are:

• 1 (mR) = 0.8695652 (mrd)
• 1 (mrd) = 1.15 (mR)

Examples

Using the conversion formulas, we can calculate:

• 7 (mR) = 6.086957 (mrd)
• 7 (mrd) = 8.05 (mR)
• 17 (mR) = 14.78261 (mrd)
• 17 (mrd) = 19.55 (mR)
• 16 (mR) = 13.91304 (mrd)
• 16 (mrd) = 18.4 (mR)

These examples demonstrate the relationship between milliroentgens and millirads in radiation measurements. By applying the conversion formulas, you can easily convert between these two units to ensure accurate and consistent measurements in the field of radiation detection and protection.

Use this information to perform conversions from Milliroentgen (mR) to Millirad (mrd) efficiently in your work involving ionizing radiation considerations.
