Convert Microsiemens per centimetre (µS/cm) to Nanosiemens per metre (nS/m) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
nS/m = µS/cm × 100000
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 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.
