Convert Millisieverts per hour to Rads per second
Convert Millisieverts per hour (mSv/h) to Rads per second (rad/s) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
rad/s = mSv/h × 2.777777778e-5
About Millisieverts per hour
The millisievert per hour (mSv/h) equals 1e-3 Sv/h = 1e-3 Gy/h for photon radiation. Standard field survey unit in radiation protection: nuclear power plant boundary limits are stated in mSv/h; NRC and IAEA emergency alert levels for the public begin at 1 mSv/h; portable radiation survey instruments have a dedicated mSv/h range. 1 mSv/h = 1 mGy/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.
