Millisiemens to Mho Conversion Table

Table showing various millisiemens measurements converted to mhos. Click any preset value or arrow to load it into the converter.

How to Convert Millisiemens to Mhos

To convert millisiemens to mhos, multiply the electrical conductance by the following conversion ratio: 0.001 mhos/millisiemens.

Since one millisiemens is equal to 0.001 mhos, you can use this simple formula to convert:

mhos = millisiemens × 0.001

The electrical conductance in mhos is equal to the electrical conductance in millisiemens multiplied by 0.001.

For example, here's how to convert 5 millisiemens to mhos using the formula above.

mhos = (5 mS × 0.001) = 0.005 ℧

How Many Mhos Are in a Millisiemens?

There are 0.001 mhos in a millisiemens, which is why we use this value in the formula above.

1 mS = 0.001 ℧|1 ℧ = 1,000 mS

Our millisiemens to mho calculator automatically converts your electrical conductance measurements with full decimal and scientific precision across US customary, imperial, and SI metric standards.

Millisiemens and mhos are both units used to measure electrical conductance. Keep reading to learn more about each unit.

What Is a Millisiemens?

A millisiemens is a unit of electrical conductance equal to 1/1,000 of a siemens (0.001 S). One-thousandth of a Siemens (0.001 S). [1]

The millisiemens is classified as a metric and SI-compatible unit of electrical conductance. Millisiemens can be abbreviated as mS; for example, 1 millisiemens can be written as 1 mS.

In the metric system, "milli" is the standard SI prefix for thousandths, or 10⁻³. This makes the millisiemens (mS) a convenient decimal multiple of the siemens (S).

In practice, millisiemens (mS) are widely used across fine-tolerance laboratory, analytical, and micro-scale electrical conductance measurements within SI metric workflows, engineering documentation, and technical data sheets.

What Is a Mho?

A mho is a unit of electrical conductance equal to 1 siemens (S), the base unit for electrical conductance. Traditional name for reciprocal ohm (1 ℧ = 1 S). [2]

The mho is classified as a standard unit of electrical conductance. Mhos can be abbreviated as ℧; for example, 1 mho can be written as 1 ℧.

When working with mhos (℧) in formulas or technical specifications, always verify whether your target system uses SI metric, US customary, or British imperial standards.

In practice, mhos (℧) are widely used across standard electrical conductance applications within international standard workflows, engineering documentation, and technical data sheets.

When converting electrical conductance between millisiemens (mS) and mhos (℧), keep full floating-point precision (1 mS = 0.001 ℧; 1 ℧ = 1,000 mS) during intermediate calculations and round only the final mho figure to match your instrument tolerance.
