Conversion Formula
pS/m = kS/m × 1000000000000000
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 Picosiemens per metre
The picosiemens per metre (pS/m) equals 10⁻¹² S/m, the scale for the most resistive solid dielectrics: amber (~10⁻¹⁴ S/m), borosilicate glass (~10⁻¹² S/m), and PTFE (<10⁻¹⁵ S/m). A material with 1 TΩ·m bulk resistivity has conductivity of exactly 1 pS/m. 1 pS/m = 10⁻¹² S/m = 10⁻´ µS/m.
