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

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