Siemens per centimeter quick reference
| Siemens per centimeter | Siemens per meter | Microsiemens per centimeter | Millisiemens per centimeter |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 S/cm | = 100 S/m | = 1000000 µS/cm | = 1000 mS/cm |
| 10 S/cm | = 1000 S/m | = 10000000 µS/cm | = 10000 mS/cm |
| 100 S/cm | = 10000 S/m | = 100000000 µS/cm | = 100000 mS/cm |
| 1000 S/cm | = 100000 S/m | = 1000000000 µS/cm | = 1000000 mS/cm |
Where the siemens per centimeter fits
The next smaller electric conductivity unit is the siemens per meter (S/m). 1 S/cm = 100 S/m, and 1 S/m = 0.01 S/cm.
