Converting from Nanosievert (nSv) to Rad (rd) | Radiation

What is Nanosievert (nSv)

Nanosievert (nSv) is a unit of measurement used to quantify radiation exposure. It represents a very small amount of radiation, with 1 nanosievert equal to 0.0000001 rad.

What is Rad (rd)

Rad (rd) is another unit of measurement for radiation dose. It is commonly used to measure the absorbed dose of ionizing radiation in tissue. 1 rad is equivalent to 10,000,000 nanosieverts.

Conversion Formulas

To convert from nanosievert to rad:

rad=nanosievert×0.0000001

To convert from rad to nanosievert:

nanosievert=rad×10000000

Examples

1. Converting 5 nanosieverts to rad:

5nSv×0.0000001=0.0000005rad

2. Converting 9 rad to nanosieverts:

9rd×10000000=90000000nSv

3. Converting 3 nanosieverts to rad:

3nSv×0.0000001=0.0000003rad
