microsiemens
Tiny conductance measure
A microsiemens is one millionth of a siemens, the standard unit of electrical conductance.
Conductance measures how easily electric current flows through a material—the opposite of resistance.
Microsiemens are commonly used in water quality testing, where the sample measured 450 microsiemens per centimeter, indicating the concentration of dissolved ions.
The abbreviation is μS.
