Radiation-Exposure Converter
Comprehensive Radiation-Exposure Converter
Radiation exposure quantifies the amount of charge produced per unit mass from ionizing radiation, expressed in coulomb per kilogram (C/kg). Our Radiation-Exposure Converter makes it easy to convert between various radiation-exposure units—from the base unit (C/kg) to smaller units like millicoulomb/kilogram and microcoulomb/kilogram, as well as conventional units such as roentgen, tissue roentgen, parker, and rep. This tool is essential for professionals working in radiation protection, medical physics, and nuclear engineering.
What Units Are Covered?
Our converter supports a complete range of radiation-exposure units with conversion factors defined relative to coulomb/kilogram [C/kg]:
Coulomb/kilogram [C/kg] (base unit)
Millicoulomb/kilogram [mC/kg]: 1 mC/kg = 0.001 C/kg.
Microcoulomb/kilogram [µC/kg]: 1 µC/kg = 1.0E-6 C/kg.
Roentgen [R]: 1 R = 0.000258 C/kg.
Tissue roentgen: 1 tissue roentgen = 0.000258 C/kg.
Parker: 1 parker = 0.000258 C/kg.
Rep: 1 rep = 0.000258 C/kg.
How Does It Work?
The converter uses a two-step process:
Convert to the Base Unit:
The input value is first converted into coulomb per kilogram (C/kg) using the conversion factor of the selected “From” unit.Convert to the Target Unit:
The value in C/kg is then converted into your chosen “To” unit using its corresponding conversion factor.
This ensures precise and consistent conversions for all your radiation exposure calculations.
