Converting from Disintegrations per Second (dps) to Microсurie (µCi) | Radioactivity

What is Disintegrations per Second (dps)

Disintegrations per Second (dps) is a unit used to measure the rate at which radioactive atoms decay. It quantifies the number of atomic nuclei that undergo radioactive decay within one second.

What is Microсurie (µCi)

Microсurie (µCi) is a unit of measurement commonly used to express the intensity of radioactivity. It is equivalent to one millionth of a Curie, where a Curie is a unit representing the rate of disintegration of a radioactive substance.

Conversion Formulas

The conversion between dps and µCi can be expressed by the following formulas:

Examples

1. Converting 8 dps to µCi:

   • 8 dps×0.00002702703=0.0002162162 µCi

2. Converting 8 µCi to dps:

   • 8 µCi×37000=296000 dps

3. Converting 7 dps to µCi:

   • 7 dps×0.00002702703=0.0001891892 µCi

4. Converting 7 µCi to dps:

   • 7 µCi×37000=259000 dps

5. Converting 16 dps to µCi:

   • 16 dps×0.00002702703=0.0004324324 µCi

6. Converting 16 µCi to dps:

   • 16 µCi×37000=592000 dps
