Conversion Formula
kS/m = S/cm × 0.1
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.
About Kilosiemens per metre
The kilosiemens per metre (kS/m) equals 10³ S/m, spanning liquid metals and very concentrated electrolytes. Molten NaCl at 900 °C ≈3.6 kS/m; liquid mercury ≈1 000 kS/m; bismuth melt ≈750 kS/m. Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) channel design and induction heating studies express melt conductivities in kS/m. 1 kS/m = 10³ S/m = 10 S/cm.
