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

About these measurements
Conductance is the reciprocal of resistance.
The base reference used here is the siemens. One nanosiemens is 1e-9 base units; one attosiemens is 1e-18 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 nS to aS?
Multiply the quantity in nS 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 attosiemens to nanosiemens converter.
