Convert Nanosiemens per metre to Megasiemens per metre
Convert Nanosiemens per metre (nS/m) to Megasiemens per metre (MS/m) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
MS/m = nS/m × 1.000000000e-15
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.
About Megasiemens per metre
The megasiemens per metre (MS/m) equals 10⁶ S/m, the natural scale for metallic conductors: silver 63 MS/m, copper 59.6 MS/m, gold 45 MS/m, aluminium 37 MS/m, iron ≈10 MS/m. IEC and ASTM wire specifications use %IACS (100% IACS ≡ 58 MS/m); eddy-current and skin-depth calculations for metals work in MS/m. 1 MS/m = 10⁶ S/m.
