Full name: gigasiemens
Plural form: gigasiemens
Symbol: GS
Category type: electric conductance
Scale factor: 1000000000
The SI derived unit for electric conductance is the siemens.
1 siemens is equal to 1.0E-9 gigasiemens.
Valid units must be of the electric conductance type.
You can use this form to select from known units:
The SI prefix "giga" represents a factor of 109, or in exponential notation, 1E9.
So 1 gigasiemens = 109 siemens.
The definition of a siemens is as follows:
The siemens is the SI derived unit of electric conductance. It is equal to inverse ohm. It is named after the German inventor and industrialist Ernst Werner von Siemens, and was previously called the mho. In English, the term siemens is used both for the singular and plural. The 14th General Conference on Weights and Measures approved the addition of the siemens as an SI derived unit in 1971.
