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

What is Microсurie (µCi)

A Microсurie (µCi) is a unit of radioactivity that measures the decay rate of radioactive substances. It is equal to one millionth of a Curie.

What is Disintegrations per Second (dps)

Disintegrations per Second (dps) is a unit used to quantify the rate at which radioactive atoms undergo radioactive decay. It represents the number of atoms that decay per second.

Conversion Formulas

The default conversion values are:

• 1 µCi = 37,000 dps
• 1 dps = 0.00002702703 µCi

For other conversions:

• 16 µCi = 592,000 dps
• 16 dps = 0.0004324324 µCi
• 13 µCi = 481,000 dps
• 13 dps = 0.0003513514 µCi
• 12 µCi = 444,000 dps
• 12 dps = 0.0003243243 µCi

To convert from Microсurie (µCi) to Disintegrations per Second (dps), you can use the formula:

dps=µCi×37,000

And to convert from Disintegrations per Second (dps) to Microсurie (µCi), use:

µCi=37,000dps​

Examples

If you have 10 µCi, the equivalent in dps would be:

10×37,000=370,000dps

Similarly, if you have 25 dps, the value in µCi would be:

37,00025​≈0.0006756757µCi

This article provides the necessary information and conversion formulas for transforming measurements between Microсurie (µCi) and Disintegrations per Second (dps) in the context of radioactivity calculations.
