How to use it
- Type a number. A dot or a comma works as the decimal separator.
- Choose the unit you have and the unit you need.
- The table shows the same value in all common units at once.
Conversion factors
Every unit is converted through the siemens (S).
| Unit | In S |
|---|---|
| 1 kS | 1,000 |
| 1 mho | 1 |
| 1 mS | 0.001 |
| 1 µS | 0.000001 |
| 1 nS | 10⁻⁹ |
| 1 abmho | 10⁹ |
| 1 statmho | ≈ 1.1127 × 10⁻¹² |
Worked example
A conductivity meter reads 250 µS. That is 250 ÷ 1,000 = 0.25 mS, or 0.00025 S. The matching resistance is 1 ÷ 0.00025 = 4,000 Ω.
Quick reference
- 1 S = 1,000 mS = 1,000,000 µS
- G = 1 / R and G = I / V
- Conductances in parallel add
