Key Stage 4
Meaning
Kilosieverts (kSv) are a unit of radiation dose 1,000 times larger than the SI Unit; the Sievert.
About Kilosieverts
- Kilosieverts are shortened to kSv with a lower case k, an upper case S and a lower case v.
- Kilo means one thousand so there are 1,000 Sieverts in a kilosievert.
Converting to Kilosieverts
| Unit | To convert | Kilosieverts |
| 1 megasievert (1MSv) | Convert to kilosieverts x103 | 1x103kSv |
| 1 kilosievert (1kSv) | Convert to kilosieverts x1 | 1kSv |
| 1 Sievert (1Sv) | Convert to kilosieverts x10-3 | 1x10-3kSv |
| 1 millisievert 1(mSv) | Convert to kilosieverts x10-6 | 1x10-6kSv |
| 1 microsievert 1(µSv) | Convert to kilosieverts x10-9 | 1x10-9kSv |
| 1 nanosievert 1(nSv) | Convert to kilosieverts x10-12 | 1x10-12kSv |
