SI multiples and conversions
Frequently used SI multiples are the millisievert (1 mSv = 10−3 Sv) and microsievert (1 μSv = 10−6 Sv) or (1 mSv = 0.001 Sv) and (1 μSv = 0.000001 Sv).
An older unit of the equivalent dose is the rem (Röntgen equivalent man). In some fields and countries, the rem and millirem (abbreviated mrem) continue to be used along with Sv and mSv, causing confusion. Here are the conversion equivalences:
1 Sv = 100 rem
1 mSv = 100 mrem = 0.1 rem
1 μSv = 0.1 mrem
1 rem = 0.01 Sv = 10 mSv
1 mrem = 0.00001 Sv = 0.01 mSv = 10 μSv
This thread is hilarious! The DUmmies, led by the corpulent wizard nadinbrzhzhzhzski, argue about micro- versus milli-, rems, sieverts (whatever in hell that is), conversion factors, exposure limits, and not one of them has any idea what they are talking about. These are people who can't keep straight the difference between tax returns and tax refunds. They have no idea whether to add an apostrophe to spell a plural. They don't know how to use "their", "they're", and "there", and they always spell "losing" as "loosing". In short, they're morons, discussing nuclear science. The only measurement conversion they are expert at would be grams to ounces, in a baggie.
