Convert Picosieverts to Rems
Convert Picosieverts (pSv) to Rems (rem) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
rem = pSv × 1.000000000e-10
About Picosieverts
The picosievert (pSv) equals 10⁻¹² Sv. Microdosimetry models of single α-particle traversals through cell nuclei report mean specific energies in the pSv range; ultra-low-background radiation detectors in deep underground laboratories for dark matter searches are characterised at pSv sensitivity levels. 1 pSv = 10⁻¹² Sv = 10⁻³ nSv.
About Rems
The rem (roentgen equivalent man) equals exactly 0.01 Sv = 1 cSv. The pre-SI unit of equivalent dose, still dominant in US regulation: NRC occupational whole-body limit 5 rem/year; 10 CFR Part 20 exposure limits cited in rem; US military personnel dose records maintained in rem. 1 rem = 0.01 Sv = 1 cSv.
