About Electric Conductivity Units
Electric conductivity (also known as specific conductance) is a measure of a material's ability to conduct electric current. It is the reciprocal of electrical resistivity and is a fundamental property of a material that is independent of its size or shape.
Common Electric Conductivity Units
- Siemens per Meter (S/m): The SI unit of electric conductivity, representing the conductance of a material with a cross-sectional area of 1 square meter and a length of 1 meter.
- Siemens per Centimeter (S/cm): A commonly used unit in materials science and water quality testing, equal to 100 siemens per meter.
- Millisiemens per Meter (mS/m): Equal to 0.001 siemens per meter, commonly used in soil science and geology.
- Microsiemens per Meter (μS/m): Equal to 0.000001 siemens per meter, used for materials with low conductivity.
- Mho per Meter (℧/m): An older unit equivalent to siemens per meter.
Applications of Electric Conductivity Measurement
