TABLE OF IACS (International Annealed Copper Standard) CONDUCTIVITIES

100% IACS is equivalent to a conductivity of 58.108 megasiemens per meter (MS/m) at 20°C
or a resistivity of 1/58.108 ohm per meter for a wire one square millimeter in cross section.
IACS % = (172.41/resistivity) where resistivity, ρ,(ro) is in micro-ohms per centimeter.
