Microsiemens Converters

Convert microsiemens (µS) to siemens, millisiemens, micromhos, mhos and other conductance units.

What this tool does

Convert microsiemens (µS) to siemens, millisiemens, micromhos, mhos and other conductance units. Type an amount in microsiemens, choose the units, and the tool converts it to siemens. It offers 15 electrical conductance units and also shows the same amount in the others.

Inputs

  • Value: A number.
  • From: Choose one from 15 options, including Gigasiemens, Megasiemens, Kilosiemens, Siemens, Millisiemens, Microsiemens. Starts as Microsiemens.
  • To: Choose one of the same 15 units as "From". Starts as Siemens.

How to use

  1. Enter the amount you want to convert.
  2. Choose the unit to convert from and the unit to convert to.
  3. Read the result: the converted amount and the same amount in the other units. It appears once every required field has a valid value.

Worked examples

Conversions from microsiemens to siemens:

  • 1 µS = 0.000001 S
  • 5 µS = 0.000005 S
  • 10 µS = 0.00001 S
  • 50 µS = 0.00005 S
  • 100 µS = 0.0001 S

Multiply the number of microsiemens by 0.000001 to get siemens. Both units are exact definitions, so 0.000001 is the exact factor: 1 µS = 0.000001 S.

Limitations

  • Converts the unit of a conductance only. It does not work out conductance from resistance, current or voltage.
  • Abmho and statmho are historical CGS units, listed for completeness.

FAQs

Q: How many siemens is one microsiemens?
A: One microsiemens is 0.000001 siemens (one millionth), or 0.001 millisiemens.
Q: Is a microsiemens the same as a micromho?
A: Yes. A mho is exactly 1 siemens, so 1 micromho is exactly 1 microsiemens.
Q: Can I convert the other way, from siemens to microsiemens?
A: Yes. Choose siemens in the From box and microsiemens in the To box.
Q: Does this show resistance in ohms?
A: No. This page converts between conductance units. Conductance is the reciprocal of resistance, so to get ohms from microsiemens divide 1 by the conductance in siemens.
