Electric Resistivity Converter
Comprehensive Electric Resistivity Converter
Electric resistivity is a fundamental material property that quantifies how strongly a material opposes the flow of electric current. Measured in ohm meters (Ω·m), it is widely used in electrical engineering and material science. Our Electric Resistivity Converter allows you to convert between various resistivity units—from the SI base unit (ohm meter) to common alternative units such as ohm centimeter, ohm inch, microhm centimeter, abohm centimeter, statohm centimeter, and even circular mil ohm/foot.
What Units Are Covered?
Our converter supports a full range of electric resistivity units with conversion factors defined relative to ohm meter (Ω·m):
Ohm meter [Ω·m] (base unit)
Ohm centimeter: 1 ohm/cm = 0.01 Ω·m.
Ohm inch: 1 ohm/in = 0.0254 Ω·m.
Microhm centimeter: 1 μΩ·cm = 1.0E-8 Ω·m.
Microhm inch: 1 μΩ·in = 2.54E-8 Ω·m.
Abohm centimeter: 1 abΩ·cm = 1.0E-11 Ω·m.
Statohm centimeter: 1 stΩ·cm ≈ 8.9875243240156E9 Ω·m.
Circular mil ohm/foot: 1 unit ≈ 1.6624261130101E-9 Ω·m.
How Does It Work?
The converter uses a two-step process:
Convert to the Base Unit:
The input value is first converted into ohm meters using the conversion factor of the selected “From” unit.Convert to the Target Unit:
The value in ohm meters is then converted into your chosen “To” unit using its corresponding conversion factor.
This approach ensures precise and consistent conversions for all your resistivity calculations.
