Microsiemens quick reference
| Microsiemens | Millisiemens | Siemens | Kilosiemens |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 µS | = 0.001 mS | = 0.000001 S | = 1e-9 kS |
| 10 µS | = 0.01 mS | = 0.00001 S | = 1e-8 kS |
| 100 µS | = 0.1 mS | = 0.0001 S | = 1e-7 kS |
| 1000 µS | = 1 mS | = 0.001 S | = 0.000001 kS |
Where the microsiemens fits
The next smaller electric conductance unit is the statmho (statS). 1 µS = 898755.17873681764 statS, and 1 statS ≈ 0.000001112650056 µS.
The next larger electric conductance unit is the millisiemens (mS). 1 µS = 0.001 mS, and 1 mS = 1000 µS.
