Convert disintegrations per minute (dpm) to becquerel (Bq) with a transparent formula and reference values.
| Disintegrations per minute | Becquerel |
|---|---|
| 1 dpm | 0.01666666667 Bq |
| 5 dpm | 0.08333333333 Bq |
| 10 dpm | 0.1666666667 Bq |
| 25 dpm | 0.4166666667 Bq |
| 50 dpm | 0.8333333333 Bq |
| 100 dpm | 1.6666667 Bq |
| 500 dpm | 8.3333333 Bq |
1 dpm = 0.0166666666666667 Bq. Bq = dpm × 0.0166666666666667 The interactive converter uses the same unit registry as this table, so the reference values and calculator stay synchronized.
Disintegrations per minute: One radioactive transition per minute.
Becquerel: SI unit of radioactive activity: one nuclear transition per second.
1 dpm = 0.0166666666666667 Bq. Both units describe radioactive activity, so they can be converted with a direct factor.
The SI unit becquerel (Bq) represents one nuclear transition per second. The curie relationship used here is 1 Ci = 3.7 × 10¹⁰ Bq, with metric prefixes applied consistently to the supported curie and becquerel units.
Capitalization matters: MBq means megabecquerel (10⁶ Bq), while mBq means millibecquerel (10⁻³ Bq). The command parser keeps those symbols distinct.
Reference definitions: BIPM curie definition and NIST SI conversion factors.
1 dpm = 0.0166666666666667 Bq. Bq = dpm × 0.0166666666666667
The becquerel measures radioactive activity. One Bq corresponds to one nuclear transition per second.
No. Bq measures activity, while Sv measures dose equivalent or effective dose. Converting between them requires additional physical and exposure information, not a universal unit factor.
