gigasiemens to petasiemens
Convert gigasiemens (GS) to petasiemens (PS). Use an editable electrical conductance converter, conversion formula, and reference table.
1 GS = 0.000001 PS
Conversion formula
One gigasiemens equals 0.000001 petasiemens. Multiply your value in gigasiemens by this factor to get petasiemens. For the reverse conversion, divide by the same factor.
Worked example
To convert 5 gigasiemens:5 × 0.000001 = 0.000005 PS

About these measurements
Conductance is the reciprocal of resistance.
The base reference used here is the siemens. One gigasiemens is 1,000,000,000 base units; one petasiemens is 1e+15 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 GS to PS?
Multiply the quantity in GS by 0.000001. You can also type the value into the converter above.
Can I reverse the conversion?
Yes. Use the swap button or open the petasiemens to gigasiemens converter.
