Conversion Formula
µS/m = nS/m × 0.001
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 Microsiemens per metre
The microsiemens per metre (µS/m) equals 10⁻⁶ S/m, the scale for freshwater lakes and rivers (100-2 000 µS/m) and weakly mineralised groundwater. It is the SI-coherent companion to the more commonly measured µS/cm: divide a µS/cm reading by 100 to obtain µS/m. 1 µS/m = 10⁻⁶ S/m = 0.01 µS/cm.
