Convert Picosiemens to Megasiemens
Convert Picosiemens (pS) to Megasiemens (MS) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
MS = pS × 1.000000000e-18
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 Megasiemens
The megasiemens (MS) equals 10⁶ S, the scale for very-low-resistance metallic structures such as thick busbars and short heavy-gauge connectors. A 10 cm long, 1 cm² copper bar has conductance of roughly 600 MS; aluminium overhead grid feeders have per-span conductances in the megasiemens range; conductance of grain boundaries in polycrystalline conductors at cryogenic temperatures reaches megasiemens. 1 MS = 10⁶ S = 10³ kS.
