Convert Microsieverts per hour to Rads per hour

Convert Microsieverts per hour (µSv/h) to Rads per hour (rad/h) instantly and accurately.

Microsieverts per hour (µSv/h)
Rads per hour (rad/h)

Conversion Formula

rad/h = µSv/h × 1.000000000e-4

About Microsieverts per hour

The microsievert per hour (µSv/h) equals 1e-6 Sv/h = 1e-6 Gy/h for photon radiation (wR = 1). The universal display unit of personal electronic dosimeters and ambient dose-equivalent rate monitors: typical outdoor background 0.08-0.3 µSv/h; IAEA precautionary action level is 100 µSv/h; occupational continuous limit ≈2.3 µSv/h. 1 µSv/h = 1 µGy/h for photons.

About Rads per hour

The rad per hour (rad/h) equals 0.01 Gy/h ≈ 2.78×10⁻⁶ Gy/s. Standard unit on US emergency dosimetry instruments and civil defense survey meters; Chernobyl sarcophagus contact dose rates were hundreds of rad/h; criticality accident dosimetry and NRC incident reports continue to evaluate dose rates in rad/h. 1 rad/h = 0.01 Gy/h = 10 mGy/h.
