How to convert ohm centimeters to microohm centimeters
Resistivity multiplied by length and divided by area gives resistance for a uniform conductor. Temperature and material state can change the measured resistivity.
Use x for the value in Ω·cm, b for the intermediate value in Ω·m, and y for the result in µΩ·cm.
µΩ·cm = Ω·cm × 0.01 ÷ 1e-8
Worked examples
10 Ω·cm ≈ 10000000 µΩ·cm
Step 1: (10 × 0.01) ≈ 0.1 Ω·m.
Step 2: 0.1 ÷ 1e-8 ≈ 10000000 µΩ·cm.20 Ω·cm ≈ 20000000 µΩ·cm
Step 1: (20 × 0.01) ≈ 0.2 Ω·m.
Step 2: 0.2 ÷ 1e-8 ≈ 20000000 µΩ·cm.
Results are rounded to 12 significant digits. Converting units does not increase the precision of the original measurement. Very large or small values outside JavaScript’s finite numeric range are rejected.
About Ohm centimeters
Ohm centimeters (Ω·cm) measures electric resistivity under the conventions above. The base value in Ω·m is (x × 0.01), where x is the numerical value in Ω·cm. Factors shown here are rounded for display; calculations use the stored factor.
About Microohm centimeters
Microohm centimeters (µΩ·cm) measures electric resistivity under the conventions above. The base value in Ω·m is (x × 1e-8), where x is the numerical value in µΩ·cm. Factors shown here are rounded for display; calculations use the stored factor.
