Decisiemens per Metre (dS/m)
The decisiemens per metre is 0.1 S/m, numerically equal to mS/cm. Soil and irrigation-water salinity (EC) is usually reported in dS/m.
Symbol: dS/m
Quantity: electrical conductivity
SI relation: 1 dS/m = 0.1 S/m (exact)
Derivation: 1 dS/m = 0.1 S/m = 1 mS/cm
Exact: yes, by definition
Same quantity as millisiemens per centimetre (mS/cm) : the factor between them is exactly 1.
Typical uses
- Soil salinity and irrigation water (EC)
- Agriculture and hydroponics
