Conversion Formula
GS/m = mS/m × 1.000000000e-12
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 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.
