Conversion Formula
abS = mS × 1.000000000e-12
About Millisiemens
The millisiemens (mS) equals 10⁻³ S, covering physiological saline, seawater, and electrochemical cell conductances. Seawater conductivity is about 50 mS/cm; blood plasma is around 15 mS/cm; a 1 kΩ resistor presents 1 mS; a forward-biased transistor junction at a few milliamperes has dynamic conductance in the millisiemens range. 1 mS = 10⁻³ S = 10³ µS.
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.
