Frequently Asked Questions

What does mho per meter measure?
Mho per meter quantifies electrical conductivity as the conductance per meter length of a material, representing its ability to conduct electric current.

Why convert from mho/m to mho/cm?
Conversion to mho/cm is useful because many practical measurements of ionic conductivity use shorter path lengths, and reporting per centimeter provides better comparability.

Are mho/m and mho/cm the same as siemens units?
Mho is equivalent to siemens; however, mho/m and mho/cm are legacy units representing conductance per meter or centimeter, respectively, while siemens per meter is the modern SI unit.

Key Terminology

Mho per meter (mho/m)
A legacy unit measuring electrical conductivity as conductance per meter; equivalent to siemens per meter.
Mho per centimeter (mho/cm)
A legacy unit for electrical conductivity indicating conductance per centimeter path length; one mho/cm equals 100 siemens per meter.
Electrical Conductivity
A measure of a material's ability to conduct electric current, the inverse of electrical resistivity.
