ρ = RA/l  Ωm

ρ = Resistivity  Ωm

R = Resistance  Ω

A = Area  m2

l = length  m

e.g.

length = 0.150 m

radius = 0.01 m

R (measured with instrument) = 0.0676 x 10-3 Ω

ρ = 0.0676 x 10-3 x 3.41 x 0.01x0.01 / 0.150

= 1.415 x 10-7 Ωm

%IACS = 1 / 1.415 x 10-7 x 1.724138 x 106

%IACS = 12.18%

Conversion formula

1 MS/m (Mega Siemens) = %IACS × 0.58

%IACS = 1 x 106/ ρ(Ωm) x 1.724138
