Convert Gigasiemens (GS) to Microsiemens (µS) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
µS = GS × 1000000000000000
About Gigasiemens
The gigasiemens (GS) equals 10⁹ S, the conductance equivalent of a 1 nΩ resistance and numerically identical to the CGS-EMU absiemens. Short, thick copper interconnects in power electronics - such as a 10 mm thick 10 cm² copper slug - approach 1 GS conductance; cryogenically cooled metallic bar specimens near absolute zero show gigasiemens values. 1 GS = 10⁹ S = 1 abS.
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.
