microohm centimeter to ohm centimeter
Convert microohm centimeter (μΩ·cm) to ohm centimeter (Ω·cm). Use an editable electrical resistivity converter, conversion formula, and reference table.
1 μΩ·cm = 0.000001 Ω·cm
Conversion formula
One microohm centimeter equals 0.000001 ohm centimeter. Multiply your value in microohm centimeter by this factor to get ohm centimeter. For the reverse conversion, divide by the same factor.
Worked example
To convert 5 microohm centimeter:5 × 0.000001 = 0.000005 Ω·cm

About these measurements
Resistivity describes a material’s resistance independent of shape.
The base reference used here is the ohm meter. One microohm centimeter is 1e-8 base units; one ohm centimeter is 0.01 base units.
Important distinctions
Compound units must match the quantity and dimension. Temperature intervals use size factors rather than temperature offsets. Calorie and BTU entries use the explicit definitions shown.
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 μΩ·cm to Ω·cm?
Multiply the quantity in μΩ·cm 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 ohm centimeter to microohm centimeter converter.
