About Siemens per metre
The siemens per metre (S/m) is the SI unit of electrical conductivity, equal to 1 A/(V·m) = 1 Ω⁻¹·m⁻¹ = 1 kg⁻¹·m⁻³·A²·s³. Seawater ≈5 S/m, human blood ≈0.7 S/m, graphite ≈10⁴ S/m, copper 59.6 MS/m; the full range from insulators (10⁻¹⁷ S/m) to superconductors (∞) is expressed in S/m. 1 S/m = 0.01 S/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.
