convertimate Radiation dose rate

Millisieverts per year to microsieverts per hour

Type a value in mSv/yr to get it in µSv/h instantly.

0.01141µSv/h

Nothing on our list is smaller: natural background is 8.8× higher. A whole year in it would be about 0.1 mSv, against a world average of 2.4.

What it means

How much radiation is that?

Yearly figures assume constant exposure for all 8,766 hours of a year, which is how limits are written but rarely how life works.

The math

How to convert mSv/yr to µSv/h

To convert millisieverts per year to microsieverts per hour, multiply by 0.114077.

Example: 0.1 mSv/yr × 0.114077 = 0.0114077 µSv/h.

In the other direction, 1 µSv/h = 8.766 mSv/yr.
