Abmho (absiemens) quick reference
| Abmho (absiemens) | Siemens | Millisiemens | Microsiemens |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 abS | = 1000000000 S | = 1000000000000 mS | = 1e+15 µS |
| 10 abS | = 10000000000 S | = 10000000000000 mS | = 1e+16 µS |
| 100 abS | = 100000000000 S | = 100000000000000 mS | = 1e+17 µS |
| 1000 abS | = 1000000000000 S | = 1e+15 mS | = 1e+18 µS |
Where the abmho fits
The next smaller electric conductance unit is the kilosiemens (kS). 1 abS = 1000000 kS, and 1 kS = 0.000001 abS.
