Convert Rems to Picosieverts
Convert Rems (rem) to Picosieverts (pSv) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
pSv = rem × 10000000000
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.
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.
