What are Picogray/second and Sievert/second

Definition of Picogray/second

Picogray per second (pGy/s) is a unit of measurement representing the rate of radiation dose absorbed by an object or individual, expressed in picograys per second. The picogray is a submultiple of the gray, where 1 gray equals 1 joule of absorbed radiation energy per kilogram of matter. The prefix 'pico' denotes a factor of 10^-12, making the picogray a trillionth of a gray. This unit is essential in fields like radiology, nuclear medicine, and radiation protection, providing a standardized way to quantify low-level radiation exposure over time.

Definition of Sievert/second

Sievert per second (Sv/s) is a unit measuring the rate of radiation dose equivalent received, expressed in sieverts per second. Sievert, named after Swedish physicist Rolf Sievert, is the SI unit used to quantify the biological effects of ionizing radiation. It accounts for both the energy absorbed and the biological impact of that radiation, considering factors like radiation type and sensitivity of the affected tissue. The unit is crucial in radiological protection, helping assess potential health risks and ensure safety standards in medical, industrial, and environmental contexts.

Conversion of Picogray/second to Sievert/second

1 pGy/s = 1.0E-12 Sv/s
1 Sv/s = 1.0E12 pGy/s

Example 1:
convert 50 pGy/s to Sv/s:
50 pGy/s = 50 × 1.0E-12 Sv/s = 5.0E-11 Sv/s

Example 2:
convert 35 pGy/s to Sv/s:
35 pGy/s = 35 × 1.0E-12 Sv/s = 3.5E-11 Sv/s
