centisiemens to megasiemens
Convert centisiemens (cS) to megasiemens (MS). Use an editable electrical conductance converter, conversion formula, and reference table.
1 cS = 1e-8 MS
Conversion formula
One centisiemens equals 1e-8 megasiemens. Multiply your value in centisiemens by this factor to get megasiemens. For the reverse conversion, divide by the same factor.
Worked example
To convert 5 centisiemens:5 × 1e-8 = 5e-8 MS

About these measurements
Conductance is the reciprocal of resistance.
The base reference used here is the siemens. One centisiemens is 0.01 base units; one megasiemens is 1,000,000 base units.
Important distinctions
To convert resistance into conductance, take a reciprocal. A direct unit conversion does not do that.
Precision
The converter uses stored conversion factors and floating-point arithmetic. Results display up to ten significant digits, switching to scientific notation for very small or large values. Keep the precision of your original measurement when reporting results.
Common questions
How do I convert cS to MS?
Multiply the quantity in cS by 1e-8. You can also type the value into the converter above.
Can I reverse the conversion?
Yes. Use the swap button or open the megasiemens to centisiemens converter.
