centisiemens to picosiemens
Convert centisiemens (cS) to picosiemens (pS). Use an editable electrical conductance converter, conversion formula, and reference table.
1 cS = 10,000,000,000 pS
Conversion formula
One centisiemens equals 10,000,000,000 picosiemens. Multiply your value in centisiemens by this factor to get picosiemens. For the reverse conversion, divide by the same factor.
Worked example
To convert 5 centisiemens:5 × 10,000,000,000 = 50,000,000,000 pS

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 picosiemens is 1e-12 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 pS?
Multiply the quantity in cS by 10,000,000,000. You can also type the value into the converter above.
Can I reverse the conversion?
Yes. Use the swap button or open the picosiemens to centisiemens converter.
