Convert Rem to Picosievert
Input the number of rem you want to convert to picosieverts.
How to Convert Rem to Picosieverts
The rem and picosievert are both units of radiation dose. By definition, 1 rem equals exactly 10000000000 picosieverts. This means to convert rem to picosieverts, you multiply by 10000000000.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 rem to picosieverts:
We need to convert rem to picosieverts
Since 1 rem = 10000000000 pSv, multiply by 10000000000
5 × 10000000000 = 50000000000
5 rem = 50000000000 pSv

About These Units
Rem (rem)
The rem (Roentgen Equivalent Man) is the traditional unit of equivalent dose. One sievert = 100 rem exactly. Still used in US nuclear industry and regulations. Annual occupational limit: 5 rem/year. Natural background: 0.3 rem/year. Acute 450 rem ≈ LD50.
Picosievert (pSv)
A picosievert (pSv) equals 10⁻¹² sieverts. Theoretical scale for extremely low doses, radiation shielding calculations, and cosmic ray flux measurements. One microsievert equals one million picosieverts.
