How to Convert Millivolts to Abvolts
To convert millivolts to abvolts, multiply the voltage by the following conversion ratio: 100,000 abvolts/millivolt.
Since one millivolt is equal to 100,000 abvolts, you can use this simple formula to convert:
The voltage in abvolts is equal to the voltage in millivolts multiplied by 100,000.
For example, here's how to convert 5 millivolts to abvolts using the formula above.
How Many Abvolts Are in a Millivolt?
There are 100,000 abvolts in a millivolt, which is why we use this value in the formula above.
Our millivolt to abvolt calculator automatically converts your voltage measurements with full decimal and scientific precision across US customary, imperial, and SI metric standards.
Millivolts and abvolts are both units used to measure voltage. Keep reading to learn more about each unit.
What Is a Millivolt?
A millivolt is a unit of voltage equal to 1/1,000 of a volt (0.001 V). One-thousandth of a Volt (0.001 V). [1]
The millivolt is classified as a metric and SI-compatible unit of voltage. Millivolts can be abbreviated as mV; for example, 1 millivolt can be written as 1 mV.
In the metric system, "milli" is the standard SI prefix for thousandths, or 10⁻³. This makes the millivolt (mV) a convenient decimal multiple of the volt (V).
In practice, millivolts (mV) are widely used across fine-tolerance laboratory, analytical, and micro-scale voltage measurements within SI metric workflows, engineering documentation, and technical data sheets.
What Is an Abvolt?
An abvolt is a unit of voltage equal to 1/100,000,000 of a volt (0.00000001 V). CGS electromagnetic voltage unit (10⁻⁸ V). [2]
The abvolt is classified as a standard unit of voltage. Abvolts can be abbreviated as abV; for example, 1 abvolt can be written as 1 abV.
When working with abvolts (abV) in formulas or technical specifications, always verify whether your target system uses SI metric, US customary, or British imperial standards.
In practice, abvolts (abV) are widely used across fine-tolerance laboratory, analytical, and micro-scale voltage measurements within international standard workflows, engineering documentation, and technical data sheets.
When converting voltage between millivolts (mV) and abvolts (abV), keep full floating-point precision (1 mV = 100,000 abV; 1 abV = 0.00001 mV) during intermediate calculations and round only the final abvolt figure to match your instrument tolerance.
