Reference: 1 Sv = 1000 mSv = 1,000,000 µSv, 1 Gy ≈ 1 Sv (for gamma rays)
Radiation is a natural part of our environment — from sunlight to smartphones, from medical scans to industrial processes. But measuring radiation isn’t simple. Different industries, countries, and scientific fields use different units to quantify radioactivity, absorbed dose, and biological impact.
The Free Radiation Unit Converter by AlllinTools makes radiation measurement easy to understand by converting between all essential radiation units, including:
Sievert (Sv) — Human biological effect
Rem — US occupational safety standard
Gray (Gy) — Absorbed radiation dose
Rad — Traditional unit for absorbed dose
Becquerel (Bq) — Radioactive decay rate
Curie (Ci) — Radioactive source strength
Whether you work in healthcare, nuclear physics, aviation safety, engineering, or environmental science — correct conversion is essential to manage risk and compliance.
Radiation may be invisible — but your understanding shouldn’t be.
Incorrect radiation interpretation can lead to:
❌ Unsafe workplace conditions
❌ Wrong medical treatment dosages
❌ Equipment miscalibration
❌ Legal compliance failures
❌ Underestimating biological damage
❌ Public health misinformation
Accuracy supports:
✔ Patient safety in X-ray, CT scans & radiotherapy
✔ Nuclear plant operational safety
✔ Aviation and astronaut radiation monitoring
✔ Industrial quality testing
✔ Emergency response planning
✔ Research and regulatory documentation
Radiation is serious — and so is measuring it properly.
| Category | Measures | Units |
|---|---|---|
| Radioactivity | How unstable atoms decay | Bq, Ci |
| Exposure | Ionization in air | C/kg, R (Roentgen) |
| Absorbed Dose | Energy absorbed by material | Gy, rad |
| Dose Equivalent / Biological dose | Harm to human tissue | Sv, rem |
Example:
Absorbing 1 Gray of radiation ≠ receiving 1 Sievert of biological harm
(depends on radiation type: X-ray vs Alpha particles)
The converter handles cross-category calculations with validated physics models.
📌 Absorbed Dose
1 Gray (Gy) = 100 rad
📌 Effective Dose / Equivalent Dose
1 Sievert (Sv) = 100 rem
📌 Radioactivity
1 Curie (Ci) = 3.7 × 10¹⁰ Bq
All conversions are based on international radiation protection guidelines.
🩺 Medical & Dental Imaging
Chest X-ray ≈ 0.1 mSv
CT scan (abdomen) ≈ 8–10 mSv
Too many unnecessary scans = higher cancer risk over time
✈️ Pilot & Cabin Crew Exposure
Flying at high altitude → more cosmic radiation
Annual exposure range: 2–5 mSv
This converter supports airline safety compliance standards
⚛️ Nuclear Power Safety
Workers have strict exposure limits:
20 mSv per year average (ICRP guidelines)
Converters ensure safety calculations remain exact
☢️ Radiation in the Environment
Uranium mining, fallout zones, industrial leak monitoring
Quick conversions prevent risk misinterpretation
| Exposure Amount | Source | Possible Effects |
|---|---|---|
| 0.01 mSv | Dental X-ray | Negligible |
| 3 mSv | Annual natural background | Normal |
| 100 mSv | Major CT scans combined | Slight increased cancer risk |
| 1000 mSv (1 Sv) | Short exposure | Radiation sickness |
| 4000–5000 mSv | Acute exposure | Potentially fatal |
This tool is specially designed for:
✔ Radiologists & cancer treatment professionals
✔ Nuclear scientists & technicians
✔ Industrial radiographers (NDT inspections)
✔ Aviation & aerospace safety teams
