About Megaohm-metres
The megaohm-metre (MΩ·m) equals 10⁶ Ω·m, the scale for polymer insulators and high-purity dielectric ceramics. PTFE (Teflon) has resistivity ~10⁷ MΩ·m; polypropylene cable insulation is 10⁴-10⁶ MΩ·m; IEC 60093 surface and volume resistivity measurements on solid insulating materials are quoted in MΩ·m. 1 MΩ·m = 10⁶ Ω·m = 10³ kΩ·m.
About Abohm-centimetres
The abohm-centimetre (abΩ·cm) is the resistivity unit of the CGS-EMU system, equal to 10⁻⁹ Ω × 0.01 m = 10⁻¹¹ Ω·m. It appears in nineteenth-century electromagnetic analysis of telegraph cables and dynamo windings; silver, the best metallic conductor, has resistivity ≈1.59 nΩ·m = 159 abΩ·cm. 1 abΩ·cm = 10⁻¹¹ Ω·m.
