What are Rem and Teragray

Definition of Rem

Rem, or Roentgen Equivalent Man, is a unit used to measure the dose equivalent of ionizing radiation. Essentially, it quantifies the biological effect of radiation on human tissue, accounting for the type of radiation and the sensitivity of different tissues and organs. The rem takes into consideration the energy absorbed per unit mass and applies a quality factor based on the type of radiation, such as alpha or gamma rays. This unit allows scientists and health professionals to assess the potential risks and effects of radiation exposure on human health effectively.

Definition of Teragray

Teragray (TGy) is a derived unit of ionizing radiation dose in the International System of Units (SI), representing a trillion grays. The gray is the SI unit for the absorbed dose, defined as the absorption of one joule of radiation energy by one kilogram of matter. A teragray, therefore, quantifies extremely high levels of radiation exposure, typically used in contexts involving large-scale radiation fields or theoretical scenarios in radiation physics. It serves as a crucial unit for understanding radiation's impact in scientific research, particularly in fields like nuclear physics and radiological protection.

10 rem/s 1×10^-11 TGy/s
100 rem/s 1×10^-10 TGy/s
1,000 rem/s 1×10^-9 TGy/s
10,000 rem/s 1×10^-8 TGy/s
100,000 rem/s 1×10^-7 TGy/s
1,000,000 rem/s 1×10^-6 TGy/s
10,000,000 rem/s 1×10^-5 TGy/s
100,000,000 rem/s 1×10^-4 TGy/s
1,000,000,000 rem/s 1×10^-3 TGy/s

Conversion of Rem to Teragray

1 rem/s = 1×10^-12 TGy/s
1 TGy/s = 1×10^12 rem/s

Example 1:
Convert 5 rem/s to TGy/s:
5 rem/s = 5 × 1×10^-12 TGy/s = 5×10^-12 TGy/s

Example 2:
Convert 3.5 rem/s to TGy/s:
3.5 rem/s = 3.5 × 1×10^-12 TGy/s = 3.5×10^-12 TGy/s

History of Rem and Teragray

The Rem/Second to Teragray/Second Converter has evolved as a crucial tool in the field of radiation measurement, bridging the gap between traditional units and modern measurement systems.
