Convert Microsieverts to Kilorems
Convert Microsieverts (µSv) to Kilorems (krem) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
krem = µSv × 1.000000000e-7
About Microsieverts
The microsievert (µSv) equals 10⁻⁶ Sv. Standard unit for individual low-dose exposures: chest X-ray ~20 µSv effective dose; transatlantic flight ~80 µSv; dental panoramic X-ray ~10-25 µSv. Personal electronic dosimeters in medical and industrial workplaces accumulate and display dose in µSv. 1 µSv = 10⁻⁶ Sv.
About Kilorems
The kilorem (krem) equals 10³ rem = 10 Sv. Used in radiation hardness testing of electronics for space and military: total ionising dose (TID) specifications cite krem(Si) levels; prompt nuclear radiation effects on personnel in nuclear weapons effects literature are quoted in krem. 1 krem = 10 Sv = 10³ rem.
