Formula
TBq = µCi × 3.7e-8
Multiply any value in microcuries by 3.7e-8 to obtain the value in terabecquerels.
Worked example
Convert 1e+8 µCi to TBq.
- 01Start with 1e+8 µCi.
- 02Multiply by the conversion factor: 1e+8 × 3.7e-8 = 3.7 TBq.
Result1e+8 µCi = 3.7 TBq

FAQ
What is the conversion factor from µCi to TBq?
1 µCi equals 3.7e-8 TBq. To convert, multiply the value in microcuries by 3.7e-8.
How do I convert 1 µCi to TBq?
1 µCi = 3.7e-8 TBq. For any value, multiply by 3.7e-8.
How do I convert TBq back to µCi?
Divide by the same factor — or equivalently, multiply by 2.702703e+7. So 1 TBq = 2.7027e+7 µCi.
When would I need to convert microcurie to terabecquerel?
Radioactivity (activity) conversions between µCi and TBq are routine in health physics, nuclear medicine ordering, environmental monitoring, radiopharmacy and reactor/accelerator-source documentation. The becquerel (Bq) is the SI unit; the curie (Ci) is the legacy unit (1 Ci ≡ 3.7×10¹⁰ Bq exactly). This category is strictly activity (decays per second) — it does NOT cover absorbed dose (Gy, rad), dose equivalent (Sv, rem), exposure or dose rate, all of which are different physical quantities and live in separate categories.
Is the conversion exact?
The factor shown is precise to at least 7 significant figures. For most process-engineering work this is far better than instrument accuracy. For metrology or trade applications, refer to the relevant national standard (NIST, BIPM, ISO 80000).
