Millisiemens per centimeter quick reference
| Millisiemens per centimeter | Siemens per meter | Microsiemens per centimeter | Siemens per centimeter |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 mS/cm | = 0.1 S/m | = 1000 µS/cm | = 0.001 S/cm |
| 10 mS/cm | = 1 S/m | = 10000 µS/cm | = 0.01 S/cm |
| 100 mS/cm | = 10 S/m | = 100000 µS/cm | = 0.1 S/cm |
| 1000 mS/cm | = 100 S/m | = 1000000 µS/cm | = 1 S/cm |
Where the millisiemens per centimeter fits
The next smaller electric conductivity unit is the millisiemens per meter (mS/m). 1 mS/cm = 100 mS/m, and 1 mS/m = 0.01 mS/cm.
The next larger electric conductivity unit is the siemens per meter (S/m). 1 mS/cm = 0.1 S/m, and 1 S/m = 10 mS/cm.
