Convert Microsieverts per hour to Rads per second
Convert Microsieverts per hour (µSv/h) to Rads per second (rad/s) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
rad/s = µSv/h × 2.777777778e-8
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 second
The rad per second (rad/s) equals 0.01 Gy/s. Used in US radiation therapy physics and pulsed accelerator dosimetry: FLASH radiotherapy (FLASH-RT) research defines ultra-high dose rate as >40 Gy/s = 4000 rad/s; linac prompt radiation dose rates during pulsed operation are characterised in rad/s; nuclear detonation prompt gamma fields are described in rad/s. 1 rad/s = 0.01 Gy/s = 1 cGy/s.
