Convert Kilosiemens per metre to Microsiemens per metre
Convert Kilosiemens per metre (kS/m) to Microsiemens per metre (µS/m) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
µS/m = kS/m × 1000000000
About Kilosiemens per metre
The kilosiemens per metre (kS/m) equals 10³ S/m, spanning liquid metals and very concentrated electrolytes. Molten NaCl at 900 °C ≈3.6 kS/m; liquid mercury ≈1 000 kS/m; bismuth melt ≈750 kS/m. Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) channel design and induction heating studies express melt conductivities in kS/m. 1 kS/m = 10³ S/m = 10 S/cm.
About Microsiemens per metre
The microsiemens per metre (µS/m) equals 10⁻⁶ S/m, the scale for freshwater lakes and rivers (100-2 000 µS/m) and weakly mineralised groundwater. It is the SI-coherent companion to the more commonly measured µS/cm: divide a µS/cm reading by 100 to obtain µS/m. 1 µS/m = 10⁻⁶ S/m = 0.01 µS/cm.
