µS/cm = abS/cm × 1000000000000000
About Absiemens per centimetre
The absiemens per centimetre (abS/cm) is the CGS-EMU unit of electrical conductivity, exactly 10¹¹ S/m (= 100 GS/m). It appears in nineteenth-century electromagnetic engineering texts alongside abohms and abamperes; no real bulk material at ambient conditions approaches 1 abS/cm. The figure arises in theoretical conductor-scaling and historical performance tables. 1 abS/cm = 10¹¹ S/m.
About Microsiemens per centimetre
The microsiemens per centimetre (µS/cm) equals 10⁻⁴ S/m and is the standard unit for drinking-water conductivity monitoring (50-800 µS/cm) and surface-water quality surveys. Regulatory thresholds for potable water are often set in µS/cm; hand-held probes for aquaculture and hydroponics report in µS/cm. 1 µS/cm = 100 µS/m = 10⁻⁴ S/m.
