What does statmho/centimeter measure?

Statmho per centimeter is a Gaussian cgs unit measuring electrical conductivity, indicating how well a material conducts electric current in the electrostatic system.

Why convert statmho/cm to siemens/meter?

Conversion is needed to translate older conductivity data from the Gaussian system into the widely used SI system for practical comparison and engineering purposes.

Where is siemens per meter used?

Siemens per meter is used in characterizing conductivities of metals, aqueous solutions, and in electromagnetic simulations among other engineering and environmental fields.
