About Ohm-metres
The ohm-metre (Ω·m) is the SI coherent unit of electrical resistivity, equal to 1 V·m/A = 1 kg·m³·A⁻²·s⁻³. Seawater is ≈0.2 Ω·m; deionised water is ~18 MΩ·cm = 180 kΩ·m; silicon carbide ≈0.1-10 Ω·m; IEC 60287 specifies cable insulation resistivity in Ω·m. 1 Ω·m = 10² Ω·cm = 10⁶ µΩ·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.
