Converting from Röntgen Equivalent Man (rem) to Nanosievert (nSv) | Radiation

What is Röntgen Equivalent Man (rem)

The Röntgen Equivalent Man (rem) is a unit of equivalent dose that quantifies the biological effect of ionizing radiation on human tissue. It takes into account the type of radiation and its potential for causing harm.

What is Nanosievert (nSv)

The Nanosievert (nSv) is a unit of radiation dose equivalent that measures the health effect of low levels of ionizing radiation on the human body. It is commonly used in assessing occupational and environmental radiation exposure.

Conversion Formulas

To convert from rem to nSv:

nSv=rem×10000000

To convert from nSv to rem:

rem=nSv×0.0000001

Examples

1. Converting 2 rem to nSv:

2×10000000=20000000 nSv

2. Converting 6 nSv to rem:

6×0.0000001=0.0000006 rem

3. Converting 11 rem to nSv:

11×10000000=110000000 nSv

4. Converting 2 nSv to rem:

2×0.0000001=0.0000002 rem
