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 Nanosiemens per metre
The nanosiemens per metre (nS/m) equals 10⁻⁹ S/m, characteristic of ultra-pure deionised water (≈5 nS/m at 25 °C), very dry granite, and lightly doped semiconductor substrates. Environmental hydrogeologists use nS/m for freshwater aquifer conductivity mapping; geophysical borehole logs report low-salinity formation water in nS/m. 1 nS/m = 10⁻⁹ S/m = 10⁻³ µS/m.
