Ohm meter quick reference
| Ohm meter | Microohm centimeter | Ohm square millimeter per meter | Ohm circular mil per foot |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 Ω·m | = 100000000 µΩ·cm | = 1000000 Ω·mm²/m | ≈ 601530493.6 Ω·cmil/ft |
| 10 Ω·m | = 1000000000 µΩ·cm | = 10000000 Ω·mm²/m | ≈ 6015304936 Ω·cmil/ft |
| 100 Ω·m | = 10000000000 µΩ·cm | = 100000000 Ω·mm²/m | ≈ 60153049360 Ω·cmil/ft |
| 1000 Ω·m | = 100000000000 µΩ·cm | = 1000000000 Ω·mm²/m | ≈ 601530493600 Ω·cmil/ft |
Where the ohm-meter fits
The next smaller electric resistivity unit is the ohm-centimeter (Ω·cm). 1 Ω·m = 100 Ω·cm, and 1 Ω·cm = 0.01 Ω·m.
