Kiloohm Centimetre (kΩ·cm)
The kiloohm centimetre is 1000 Ω·cm. Soil and process water resistivities are sometimes quoted in kΩ·cm.
Symbol: kΩ·cm (ASCII: kohm*cm)
Quantity: electrical resistivity
SI relation: 1 kΩ·cm = 10 Ω·m (exact)
Derivation: 1 kΩ·cm = 1000 Ω·cm = 10 Ω·m
Exact: yes, by definition
Typical uses
- Soil resistivity surveys
- Process and cooling water quality
