kilosiemens to decasiemens
Convert kilosiemens (kS) to decasiemens (daS). Use an editable electrical conductance converter, conversion formula, and reference table.
1 kS = 100 daS
Conversion formula
One kilosiemens equals 100 decasiemens. Multiply your value in kilosiemens by this factor to get decasiemens. For the reverse conversion, divide by the same factor.
Worked example
To convert 5 kilosiemens:5 × 100 = 500 daS

About these measurements
Conductance is the reciprocal of resistance.
The base reference used here is the siemens. One kilosiemens is 1,000 base units; one decasiemens is 10 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 kS to daS?
Multiply the quantity in kS by 100. You can also type the value into the converter above.
Can I reverse the conversion?
Yes. Use the swap button or open the decasiemens to kilosiemens converter.
