What Is This Tool?

This converter allows you to change measurements of radiation exposure from millicoulomb per kilogram (mC/kg) to microcoulomb per kilogram (µC/kg). Both units quantify the electric charge generated by ionizing radiation in air, useful for dosimetry, calibration, and radiation protection monitoring.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the value in millicoulomb per kilogram (mC/kg) you want to convert
  • Select millicoulomb/kilogram as the original unit and microcoulomb/kilogram as the target unit
  • Click convert to get the equivalent value in microcoulomb per kilogram (µC/kg)

Key Features

  • Converts millicoulomb/kilogram to microcoulomb/kilogram with a fixed conversion rate
  • Supports units used in ionization chamber calibration and radiation survey measurements
  • Browser-based and easy to use for quick radiation exposure conversions
  • Suitable for medical radiology, radiotherapy, and radiation safety applications

Examples

  • 2 mC/kg = 2 × 1000 = 2000 µC/kg
  • 0.5 mC/kg = 0.5 × 1000 = 500 µC/kg

Common Use Cases

  • Calibrating ionization chambers and survey meters in diagnostic and therapeutic radiology
  • Reporting radiation exposure output from medical X-ray, CT, and fluoroscopy devices
  • Regulatory and workplace monitoring of ionizing radiation exposure for safety compliance

Tips & Best Practices

  • Ensure measurement is taken under standard dry air conditions for accuracy
  • Use calibrated instruments to obtain reliable radiation exposure readings
  • Apply the conversion only for exposure units, not for absorbed radiation doses in tissue

Limitations

  • Conversion applies solely to radiation exposure measured in dry air via ionization
  • Does not convert absorbed dose units or account for biological effects without adjustments
  • Accuracy depends on proper calibration and stable environmental conditions during measurement

Frequently Asked Questions

What does millicoulomb per kilogram measure?
It measures the net electric charge of ion pairs in dry air caused by ionizing radiation exposure, commonly used in dosimetry and calibration.

Why convert millicoulomb/kilogram to microcoulomb/kilogram?
To express radiation exposure with finer granularity or to meet instrumentation and reporting standards in radiation protection.

Can I use this conversion for absorbed radiation dose in tissue?
No, these units are specific to exposure in air and do not apply to absorbed dose units without additional conversion formulas.

Key Terminology

Millicoulomb per kilogram [mC/kg]
A unit of radiation exposure quantifying the net charge of ion pairs produced in dry air by ionizing radiation, defined as 10⁻³ coulombs per kilogram.
Microcoulomb per kilogram [µC/kg]
An SI-derived unit of radiation exposure representing electric charge produced in one kilogram of air by ionizing photons, equal to 1×10⁻⁶ coulombs per kilogram.
Radiation Exposure
The amount of ionization produced in air by X-rays or gamma rays, measured as electric charge per mass of air.
