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 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.
