Convert Nanosiemens to Microsiemens
Convert Nanosiemens (nS) to Microsiemens (µS) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
µS = nS × 0.001
About Nanosiemens
The nanosiemens (nS) equals 10⁻⁹ S, the scale for JFET gate leakage, ion-channel patch-clamp measurements, and high-value resistor characterisation. A 1 GΩ resistor presents 1 nS; single open ion channels in biological membranes are quantified in nanosiemens by patch-clamp electrophysiology; environmental soil conductivity sensors use nanosiemens readouts at high resistivity. 1 nS = 10⁻³ µS = 10⁻⁹ S.
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.
