decisiemens to gigasiemens
Convert decisiemens (dS) to gigasiemens (GS). Use an editable electrical conductance converter, conversion formula, and reference table.
1 dS = 1e-10 GS
Conversion formula
One decisiemens equals 1e-10 gigasiemens. Multiply your value in decisiemens by this factor to get gigasiemens. For the reverse conversion, divide by the same factor.
Worked example
To convert 5 decisiemens:5 × 1e-10 = 5e-10 GS

About these measurements
Conductance is the reciprocal of resistance.
The base reference used here is the siemens. One decisiemens is 0.1 base units; one gigasiemens is 1,000,000,000 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 dS to GS?
Multiply the quantity in dS by 1e-10. You can also type the value into the converter above.
Can I reverse the conversion?
Yes. Use the swap button or open the gigasiemens to decisiemens converter.
