Electric Conductivity Converter

Electric conductivity measures how readily a material carries current, independent of its shape. The SI unit is the siemens per meter. Water-quality meters read in microsiemens per centimeter, while materials data sheets often use mho per centimeter — the reciprocal of resistivity.

About electric conductivity conversion

Electric Conductivity conversion is commonly needed when water-quality meters, soil salinity surveys, and materials testing. Conductivity meters usually read in microsiemens per centimetre; drinking water typically falls between 50 and 800 µS/cm.
