Converting from Milliсurie (mCi) to Disintegrations per Second (dps) | Radioactivity

What is Milliсurie (mCi)

Milliсurie (mCi) is a unit of radioactivity measurement that represents one thousandth of a curie. It is commonly used to quantify the amount of radioactive material present in a sample.

What is Disintegrations per Second (dps)

Disintegrations per Second (dps) is a unit used to measure the rate at which radioactive atoms undergo nuclear decay or disintegration in a given sample. It provides a measure of how quickly the atoms are transforming into other elements or isotopes.

Conversion Formulas

The default conversion between mCi and dps is:

1 mCi=37000000 dps

1 dps=0.00000002702703 mCi

Other conversion examples include:

• 4 mCi = 148000000 dps
• 4 dps = 0.0000001081081 mCi
• 8 mCi = 296000000 dps
• 8 dps = 0.0000002162162 mCi
• 9 mCi = 333000000 dps
• 9 dps = 0.0000002432432 mCi

Examples

To convert from mCi to dps, simply multiply the value in mCi by 37000000 to get the equivalent value in dps. For example, to convert 4 mCi to dps:

4 mCi×37000000=148000000 dps

To convert from dps to mCi, multiply the value in dps by 0.00000002702703 to obtain the corresponding value in mCi. For instance, converting 8 dps to mCi:

8 dps×0.00000002702703=0.0000002162162 mCi
