Convert becquerel to disintegrations per minute

Vice Versa: disintegrations per minute to becquerel

Becquerel

The becquerel is the SI unit of radioactivity, defined as one nuclear decay per second. Named after Henri Becquerel, it replaced the curie as the standard unit of radioactive decay rate.

Disintegrations per Minute

Disintegrations per minute (dpm) equals one-sixtieth of a becquerel, used in low-level radioactivity measurements such as liquid scintillation counting and health physics monitoring.
