1. Convert to base units
ohm m = input value x input unit factor
Every supported resistivity unit is stored as a factor relative to ohm meters.

Common conversions
Useful resistivity conversion factors
| Conversion | Factor | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| Ohm cm to ohm m | ohm m = ohm cm x 0.01 | Material property data |
| Ohm m to ohm cm | ohm cm = ohm m x 100 | Semiconductor and material tables |
| Microohm cm to ohm m | ohm m = uOhm cm x 1e-8 | Metals and conductors |
| Ohm mm2/m to ohm m | ohm m = ohm mm2/m x 1e-6 | Wire and cable data |
| Milliohm m to ohm m | ohm m = mOhm m / 1000 | Engineering unit cleanup |
| Nanoohm m to ohm m | ohm m = nOhm m x 1e-9 | High-conductivity materials |
How it works
Resistivity conversion method
2. Convert to target units
target value = base value / target unit factor
The selected result and table values are calculated from the same base value.
3. Check precision
rounding depends on scale
Very small and very large values use compact scientific notation to stay readable.
FAQ
Resistivity converter questions
How do you convert ohm centimeters to ohm meters?
Multiply ohm centimeters by 0.01 to convert to ohm meters.
How do you convert microohm centimeters to ohm meters?
