What is a Electric Conductance Converter?

An electric conductance converter is a tool that converts between units of electrical conductance such as siemens, millisiemens, microsiemens, and mho. It is used in electrical engineering, circuit design, and water quality testing to measure how easily current flows through a material.

How to Convert Electric Conductance Units

Select the conductance unit you want to convert from and the target unit using the dropdown menus. Enter your value in the input field and the converter instantly shows the equivalent conductance. Useful for converting between siemens and mho or between SI prefixes.

Electric Conductance Conversion Formulas

1 siemens (S) = 1 mho 1 siemens (S) = 1000 millisiemens (mS) 1 siemens (S) = 1,000,000 microsiemens (µS) 1 abmho = 1,000,000,000 siemens (S)

History of Electric Conductance Measurement

The siemens is named after Ernst Werner von Siemens, the German inventor who founded the Siemens company. Before its adoption in 1971, the unit was called the mho (ohm spelled backwards), reflecting its inverse relationship to resistance. The abmho is a CGS electromagnetic unit equal to one gigasiemens.

About This Electric Conductance Converter

This electric conductance converter supports 12 units including siemens, megasiemens, kilosiemens, millisiemens, microsiemens, mho, megamho, kilomho, millimho, micromho, abmho, and statmho. It covers SI and CGS conductance units.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is a siemens the same as a mho?

Yes, 1 siemens equals exactly 1 mho. The siemens replaced the mho as the official SI unit name in 1971, but they represent the same quantity of electrical conductance.

How do I convert siemens to millisiemens?

Multiply the siemens value by 1000 to get millisiemens. For example, 0.05 S × 1000 = 50 mS.

What is the relationship between conductance and resistance?

Conductance is the reciprocal of resistance. Conductance (in siemens) = 1 / Resistance (in ohms). A 100-ohm resistor has a conductance of 0.01 siemens.

What is microsiemens used for?

Microsiemens per centimeter (µS/cm) is commonly used to measure water conductivity. Pure water has about 0.055 µS/cm, while tap water ranges from 50-800 µS/cm.

What is an abmho?

An abmho is a CGS electromagnetic unit of conductance equal to 1 gigasiemens (10⁹ siemens). It is rarely used today but appears in older scientific literature.
