Convert Microsiemens per centimetre to Gigasiemens per metre
Convert Microsiemens per centimetre (µS/cm) to Gigasiemens per metre (GS/m) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
GS/m = µS/cm × 1.000000000e-13
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.
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.
