Frequently Asked Questions

What does mho per meter measure?
It quantifies electrical conductivity, indicating how well a material conducts electric current per unit length and is the reciprocal of resistivity.

When should I use picosiemens per meter?
Picosiemens per meter is useful for measuring very low conductivity in high-resistivity materials, ultrapure water, or in atmospheric and space-plasma research.

Can this converter handle very large conductivity values?
Yes, but very large mho/meter inputs convert to extremely large picosiemens/meter results that require careful numeric handling.

Key Terminology
