Convert Picosiemens to Absiemens
Convert Picosiemens (pS) to Absiemens (abS) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
abS = pS × 1.000000000e-21
About Picosiemens
The picosiemens (pS) equals 10⁻¹² S, the practical scale for leakage conductance in MOSFET gate oxides, precision insulators, and high-impedance voltage probes. A 10 GΩ oscilloscope probe presents 100 pS input conductance; reverse-leakage in a silicon signal diode at room temperature is typically 1-10 pS; PTFE cable insulation is specified below 1 pS/m. 1 pS = 10⁻³ nS = 10⁻¹² S.
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.
