Convert Megasiemens per metre to Gigasiemens per metre
Convert Megasiemens per metre (MS/m) to Gigasiemens per metre (GS/m) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
GS/m = MS/m × 0.001
About Megasiemens per metre
The megasiemens per metre (MS/m) equals 10⁶ S/m, the natural scale for metallic conductors: silver 63 MS/m, copper 59.6 MS/m, gold 45 MS/m, aluminium 37 MS/m, iron ≈10 MS/m. IEC and ASTM wire specifications use %IACS (100% IACS ≡ 58 MS/m); eddy-current and skin-depth calculations for metals work in MS/m. 1 MS/m = 10⁶ S/m.
About Gigasiemens per metre
The gigasiemens per metre (GS/m) equals 10⁹ S/m, relevant for cryogenically cooled pure metals. Pure aluminium at 4 K reaches ≈10 GS/m; pure copper near 4 K approaches ≈60 GS/m. RF cryogenic resonator design and superconductor proximity-effect modelling use GS/m to benchmark normal-metal residual losses. 1 GS/m = 10⁹ S/m = 10³ MS/m.
