Frequently Asked Questions

What does microhm centimeter measure?
Microhm centimeter is a unit of electrical resistivity that quantifies how much a material opposes electric current, equal to one millionth of an ohm centimeter.

How is ohm centimeter defined?
Ohm centimeter measures electrical resistivity as the resistance in ohms of a uniform sample 1 centimeter long with a cross-sectional area of 1 cm².

Why convert from microhm centimeters to ohm centimeters?
Converting helps express very low resistivity values in larger, more conventional units for easier interpretation in bulk material and engineering applications.
