ohm meter to microohm centimeter
Convert ohm meter (Ω·m) to microohm centimeter (μΩ·cm). Use an editable electrical resistivity converter, conversion formula, and reference table.
1 Ω·m = 100,000,000 μΩ·cm
Conversion formula
One ohm meter equals 100,000,000 microohm centimeter. Multiply your value in ohm meter by this factor to get microohm centimeter. For the reverse conversion, divide by the same factor.
Worked example
To convert 5 ohm meter:5 × 100,000,000 = 500,000,000 μΩ·cm

About these measurements
Resistivity describes a material’s resistance independent of shape.
The base reference used here is the ohm meter. One ohm meter is 1 base units; one microohm centimeter is 1e-8 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 Ω·m to μΩ·cm?
Multiply the quantity in Ω·m by 100,000,000. You can also type the value into the converter above.
Can I reverse the conversion?
Yes. Use the swap button or open the microohm centimeter to ohm meter converter.
