Millisiemens per meter quick reference
| Millisiemens per meter | Siemens per meter | Microsiemens per centimeter | Siemens per centimeter |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 mS/m | = 0.001 S/m | = 10 µS/cm | = 0.00001 S/cm |
| 10 mS/m | = 0.01 S/m | = 100 µS/cm | = 0.0001 S/cm |
| 100 mS/m | = 0.1 S/m | = 1000 µS/cm | = 0.001 S/cm |
| 1000 mS/m | = 1 S/m | = 10000 µS/cm | = 0.01 S/cm |
Where the millisiemens per meter fits
The next smaller electric conductivity unit is the microsiemens per centimeter (µS/cm). 1 mS/m = 10 µS/cm, and 1 µS/cm = 0.1 mS/m.
The next larger electric conductivity unit is the millisiemens per centimeter (mS/cm). 1 mS/m = 0.01 mS/cm, and 1 mS/cm = 100 mS/m.
