Conversion Formula
kΩ·m = µΩ·m × 1.000000000e-9
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.
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.
