Conversion Formula
abS/cm = mS/m × 1.000000000e-14
About Millisiemens per metre
The millisiemens per metre (mS/m) equals 10⁻³ S/m and is the preferred unit in geophysical electromagnetic induction surveys (EM-31, EM-38) for soil and shallow-subsurface conductivity mapping. Agricultural soil reads 5-200 mS/m; saline soils exceed 400 mS/m; near-surface marine sediments reach 1 000 mS/m. 1 mS/m = 10⁻³ S/m = 10 µS/cm.
About Absiemens per centimetre
The absiemens per centimetre (abS/cm) is the CGS-EMU unit of electrical conductivity, exactly 10¹¹ S/m (= 100 GS/m). It appears in nineteenth-century electromagnetic engineering texts alongside abohms and abamperes; no real bulk material at ambient conditions approaches 1 abS/cm. The figure arises in theoretical conductor-scaling and historical performance tables. 1 abS/cm = 10¹¹ S/m.
