Convert Microohm-centimetres to Gigaohm-metres
Convert Microohm-centimetres (µΩ·cm) to Gigaohm-metres (GΩ·m) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
GΩ·m = µΩ·cm × 1.000000000e-17
About Microohm-centimetres
The microohm-centimetre (µΩ·cm) equals 10⁻⁸ Ω·m = 10 nΩ·m, the traditional unit for bulk metal resistivity in materials science. Copper is 1.68 µΩ·cm; tungsten 5.6 µΩ·cm; platinum 10.6 µΩ·cm; CRC Handbook tables still list metal resistivities in µΩ·cm. 1 µΩ·cm = 10⁻⁸ Ω·m = 10 nΩ·m.
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.
