Convert Absiemens to Microsiemens
Convert Absiemens (abS) to Microsiemens (µS) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
µS = abS × 1000000000000000
About Absiemens
The absiemens (abS) is the conductance unit of the CGS-EMU system, equal to 1/abΩ = 1/(10⁻⁹ Ω) = 10⁹ S, exactly identical to 1 GS in SI. It appears in nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century electromagnetic engineering texts; 1 abS corresponds to the conductance of a 1 nΩ connection typical of large cryogenically cooled bus joints or welded thick-copper structures. 1 abS = 10⁹ S = 1 GS.
About Microsiemens
The microsiemens (µS) equals 10⁻⁶ S, the standard unit for water-quality conductivity measurement and analogue signal-path impedance. Drinking water has conductivity of 50-500 µS/cm; a 1 MΩ resistor presents 1 µS; conductivity meters for hydroponics and aquaculture read directly in microsiemens or millisiemens per centimetre. 1 µS = 10⁻³ mS = 10⁻⁶ S.
