Millisiemens quick reference
| Millisiemens | Siemens | Microsiemens | Kilosiemens |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 mS | = 0.001 S | = 1000 µS | = 0.000001 kS |
| 10 mS | = 0.01 S | = 10000 µS | = 0.00001 kS |
| 100 mS | = 0.1 S | = 100000 µS | = 0.0001 kS |
| 1000 mS | = 1 S | = 1000000 µS | = 0.001 kS |
Where the millisiemens fits
The next smaller electric conductance unit is the microsiemens (µS). 1 mS = 1000 µS, and 1 µS = 0.001 mS.
The next larger electric conductance unit is the siemens (S). 1 mS = 0.001 S, and 1 S = 1000 mS.
