Convert Disintegrations per Second to Terabecquerel
Type the number of disintegrations per second that you wish to convert to terabecquerels.
How to Convert Disintegrations per Second to Terabecquerels
The disintegrations per second and terabecquerel are both units of radioactivity. By definition, 1 terabecquerel equals exactly 1e12 disintegrations per second. This means to convert disintegrations per second to terabecquerels, you divide by 1e12.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 dps to terabecquerels:
We need to convert disintegrations per second to terabecquerels
Since 1 TBq = 1e12 dps, divide by 1e12
5 ÷ 1e12 = 5e-12
5 dps = 5e-12 TBq

About These Units
Disintegrations per Second (dps)
Disintegrations per second (dps) is identical to the becquerel—one nuclear decay per second. Used interchangeably with Bq in scientific contexts. Directly measures the fundamental quantity: nuclear transformation rate. One Bq = 1 dps exactly.
Terabecquerel (TBq)
A terabecquerel (TBq) equals 10¹² becquerels or 27 curies. Found in industrial irradiators (50-500 TBq), blood irradiators, research reactor isotope targets, and high-activity sealed sources requiring robust safety systems.
