Conversion Formula
kΩ·m = µΩ·cm × 1.000000000e-11
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 Kilohm-metres
The kilohm-metre (kΩ·m) equals 10³ Ω·m, the scale for moderately insulating ceramics and some geological materials. Granite has bulk resistivity of 1-100 kΩ·m; fired porcelain is 10³-10⁵ kΩ·m; monocrystalline silicon at intrinsic doping (~1.5×10¹⁶ m⁻³) has resistivity ≈ 2.3 kΩ·m at room temperature. 1 kΩ·m = 10³ Ω·m = 10⁵ Ω·cm.
