Sievert to Gray converter (Sv to Gy)

Converting from Sievert (Sv) to Gray (Gy) | Radiation

What is Sievert (Sv)

The Sievert (Sv) is a unit of measurement used to quantify the biological effects of ionizing radiation on the human body. It takes into account the type of radiation and its potential harm to human health. The Sievert is commonly used in radiation protection standards and dose limits.

What is Gray (Gy)

The Gray (Gy) is the unit of measurement for absorbed dose of ionizing radiation. It measures the amount of energy deposited by radiation per unit mass of the absorbing material. The Gray is used to quantify the amount of radiation absorbed by a particular material or tissue.

Conversion Formulas

The default conversion between Sievert (Sv) and Gray (Gy) is equal, with 1 Sv being equivalent to 1 Gy. This indicates that the biological impact of radiation in Sieverts is equivalent to the absorbed dose in Grays.

Examples

13 Sv = 13 Gy
13 Gy = 13 Sv
3 Sv = 3 Gy
3 Gy = 3 Sv
7 Sv = 7 Gy
7 Gy = 7 Sv

Additional conversions can be calculated using the relationship:

1 Sv = 1 J/kg = 1 Gy

To convert from Sv to Gy, use the formula:

Absorbed Dose (Gy) = Dose Equivalent (Sv) \times Quality Factor

Where the Quality Factor accounts for the biological impact of different types of radiation.
