About Gigaohm-metres
The gigaohm-metre (GΩ·m) equals 10⁹ Ω·m, the scale for excellent insulating materials and ultra-pure liquids. Fused silica (quartz glass) has resistivity ≈ 10⁴-10⁵ GΩ·m at room temperature; ultra-pure deionised water is ≈18 MΩ·cm = 180 kΩ·m; synthetic sapphire is ≈1-10⁴ GΩ·m depending on temperature. 1 GΩ·m = 10⁹ Ω·m = 10³ MΩ·m.
About Microohm-metres
The microohm-metre (µΩ·m) equals 10⁻⁶ Ω·m and is numerically identical to 1 Ω·mm²/m used in the cable industry. Nichrome resistance wire has resistivity ≈1.0-1.1 µΩ·m; stainless steel is 0.69-0.72 µΩ·m; manganin alloy (for precision shunts) is about 0.48 µΩ·m. 1 µΩ·m = 10⁻⁶ Ω·m = 1 Ω·mm²/m.
