Understanding Siemens and Microsiemens
What is a Siemens (S)?
A siemens (S) is the SI unit for electrical conductance. It measures how easily electricity flows through a material. One siemens equals the conductance of a conductor with a resistance of one ohm.
What is a Microsiemens (μS)?
A microsiemens (μS) is one millionth (1/1,000,000) of a siemens. It's commonly used for measuring lower levels of electrical conductance, particularly in solutions and materials with lower conductivity.
