statsiemens (statS)
statsiemens (statS) :
The statsiemens (symbolized statS) is the unit of conductance in the cgs(centimeter/gram/second) electrostatic system of units. It is equivalent to approximately 1.11265 x 10 -12 siemens (S) or 1.11265 picosiemens (pS). The siemens is the standard unit of conductance in the International System of Units (SI). The statsiemens is an extremely small unit of conductance. In fact, an object with a conductance of 1 statS would make an excellent insulator or dielectric. In practical applications, the siemens, the millisiemens (mS) and the microsiemens (µS)are most often used to quantify conductance. For comparison, 1 statS = 1.11265 x 10 -6 µS = 1.11265 x 10 -9mS.
