Ohm-meters to percent IACS

Type a value in Ω·m to get it in %IACS instantly.

1.724%IACS

That's 7× as conductive as steel, while seawater is 200,000× higher. A meter of 1 mm² wire made of it would have about 1 Ω of resistance.

What it means

How well does it conduct?

Resistivity rises with temperature for metals and falls for semiconductors. Published values are at 20 °C unless stated otherwise.

The math

How to convert Ω·m to %IACS

%IACS is a reciprocal: %IACS = 1.7241 × 10⁻⁸ ÷ ρ × 100 with ρ in ohm-meters, so a better conductor has a higher percentage and a lower resistivity. The rest are plain multiples.

Example: 1×10⁻⁶ Ω·m = 1.7241 %IACS.
