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 Siemens per metre
The siemens per metre (S/m) is the SI unit of electrical conductivity, equal to 1 A/(V·m) = 1 Ω⁻¹·m⁻¹ = 1 kg⁻¹·m⁻³·A²·s³. Seawater ≈5 S/m, human blood ≈0.7 S/m, graphite ≈10⁴ S/m, copper 59.6 MS/m; the full range from insulators (10⁻¹⁷ S/m) to superconductors (∞) is expressed in S/m. 1 S/m = 0.01 S/cm.
