Siemens per meter quick reference
| Siemens per meter | Millisiemens per centimeter | Microsiemens per centimeter | Siemens per centimeter |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 S/m | = 10 mS/cm | = 10000 µS/cm | = 0.01 S/cm |
| 10 S/m | = 100 mS/cm | = 100000 µS/cm | = 0.1 S/cm |
| 100 S/m | = 1000 mS/cm | = 1000000 µS/cm | = 1 S/cm |
| 1000 S/m | = 10000 mS/cm | = 10000000 µS/cm | = 10 S/cm |
Where the siemens per meter fits
The next smaller electric conductivity unit is the millisiemens per centimeter (mS/cm). 1 S/m = 10 mS/cm, and 1 mS/cm = 0.1 S/m.
The next larger electric conductivity unit is the siemens per centimeter (S/cm). 1 S/m = 0.01 S/cm, and 1 S/cm = 100 S/m.
