Convert Millisiemens per metre to Siemens per centimetre
Convert Millisiemens per metre (mS/m) to Siemens per centimetre (S/cm) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
S/cm = mS/m × 1.000000000e-5
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 Siemens per centimetre
The siemens per centimetre (S/cm) equals 100 S/m and is used in analytical chemistry where measurements are performed in centimetre-scale conductivity cells. Concentrated KCl solutions (≈1.29 S/cm at 25 °C) serve as primary calibration standards; concentrated H₂SO₄ ≈1 S/cm; liquid mercury ≈1 000 S/cm. Equivalent conductance in electrochemistry is traditionally tabulated in S·cm²/mol. 1 S/cm = 100 S/m.
