Converting from Nanosievert (nSv) to Microsievert (µSv) | Radiation

What is Nanosievert (nSv)

Nanosievert (nSv) is a unit of measurement for ionizing radiation dose. It is equal to one billionth of a sievert. Nanosieverts are commonly used to measure low levels of radiation exposure.

What is Microsievert (µSv)

Microsievert (µSv) is also a unit of measurement for ionizing radiation dose. It is equal to one millionth of a sievert. Microsieverts are often used to quantify radiation levels in the environment and for medical purposes.

Conversion Formulas

The conversion between nanosieverts and microsieverts is straightforward due to their relationship:

• 1 (nSv) = 0.001 (µSv)
• 1 (µSv) = 1000 (nSv)

To convert nanosieverts to microsieverts:

Microsieverts=Nanosieverts×0.001

To convert microsieverts to nanosieverts:

Nanosieverts=Microsieverts×1000

Examples

1. Converting 2 nanosieverts to microsieverts:

2nSv=2×0.001=0.002μSv

2. Converting 15 microsieverts to nanosieverts:

15μSv=15×1000=15000nSv

3. Converting 7 nanosieverts to microsieverts:

7nSv=7×0.001=0.007μSv
