About Converting Centisieverts to Microsieverts
Centisievert and Microsievert both belong to the radiation-measurement family, though radiation quantities fall into genuinely distinct categories: absorbed dose (gray, rad) measures energy deposited in matter, equivalent dose (sievert, rem) weights that for biological harm, and activity (becquerel, curie) measures how often a radioactive source decays — this page only converts between units of the same kind. Specifically: Centisievert is 0.01 sievert units, and microsievert is 0.000001 sievert units.
Formula
microsieverts = centisieverts × 10000
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 centisievert equals 0.01 base units, and 1 microsievert equals 0.000001 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct centisievert-to-microsievert factor of 10000.
Simple example
1 cSv × 10000 = 10,000 uSv
1 centisievert = 10,000 microsieverts.
Real-world example
10 cSv × 10000 = 100,000 uSv
10 centisieverts = 100,000 microsieverts.

Frequently asked questions
How many microsieverts are in 1 centisievert?
1 centisievert equals 10,000 microsieverts, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert centisievert to microsievert?
Multiply the centisievert value by 10000. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert microsievert back to centisievert?
Use the reverse factor: 1 microsievert equals 0.0001 centisieverts. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a centisievert?
Centisievert (cSv) is a unit of radiation.
What is a microsievert?
Microsievert (uSv) is a unit of radiation.
Is the centisievert to microsievert conversion exact?
Yes. Both centisievert and microsievert are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 10000 used above is exact to as many digits as you choose to display.
What's the difference between absorbed dose, equivalent dose, and activity?
Absorbed dose (gray, rad) measures the energy radiation deposits in matter. Equivalent dose (sievert, rem) adjusts that figure for how harmful different types of radiation are to biological tissue. Activity (becquerel, curie) measures how often a radioactive source decays, independent of how much dose a person actually receives from it.
