Type the number of millirem that you wish to convert to microsieverts.
How to Convert Millirem to Microsieverts
The millirem and microsievert are both units of radiation dose. By definition, 1 millirem equals exactly 10 microsieverts. This means to convert millirem to microsieverts, you multiply by 10.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 mrem to microsieverts:
We need to convert millirem to microsieverts
Since 1 mrem = 10 μSv, multiply by 10
5 × 10 = 50
5 mrem = 50 μSv

About These Units
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.
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.
