Convert Microsievert to Millirem
Type the number of microsieverts that you wish to convert to millirem.
How to Convert Microsieverts to Millirem
The microsievert and millirem are both units of radiation dose. By definition, 1 millirem equals exactly 10 microsieverts. This means to convert microsieverts to millirem, you divide by 10.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 μSv to millirem:
We need to convert microsieverts to millirem
Since 1 mrem = 10 μSv, divide by 10
5 ÷ 10 = 0.5
5 μSv = 0.5 mrem

About These Units
Microsievert (μSv)
A microsievert (μSv) equals 0.001 mSv or 0.1 mrem. Common exposures: dental X-ray ~5 μSv, chest X-ray 20 μSv, transatlantic flight 40-80 μSv, banana (K-40) 0.1 μSv. Most radiation meters display μSv/h for environmental monitoring.
Millirem (mrem)
A millirem (mrem) equals 0.001 rem or 10 μSv. US dosimetry standard: natural background 300-400 mrem/year, occupational limit 5,000 mrem/year, public limit 100 mrem/year above background. Chest X-ray: ~2 mrem.
