Rad (rad)
Radiation
Gray and sievert are coherent SI units (J/kg). Rad and rem are exactly 0.01 Gy and 0.01 Sv; the curie is exactly 3.7 × 10¹⁰ Bq.

How to Convert Rad to Microsievert
To convert from Rad (rad) to Microsievert (µSv), multiply the value by 10,000.
Formula: µSv = rad × 10,000
Reverse: rad = µSv × 0.0001
Step-by-Step Example
- Start with your value in Rad. For example: 5 rad
- Multiply by the conversion factor: 5 x 10,000
- The result is: 50,000 µSv
About Rad
The rad is a non-SI unit of absorbed radiation dose. One rad is equal to 0.01 gray.
Common uses: legacy radiation monitoring, industrial radiation.
About Microsievert
The microsievert (µSv) is a unit of radiation dose. One microsievert equals 1.000000 × 10^-6 grays. UnitConvertLab converts it against every other radiation unit using this exact definition, so results are reproducible to full double precision rather than rounded lookup tables.
Common uses: radiation calculations, engineering and science, education.
