Magnetic Flux Density Converter
Magnetic Flux Density Converter: convert between 7 magnetic flux density units, for example 1 G = 0.0001 T.
| Unit | Value |
|---|---|
| gauss to tesla | 0.0001 T |
| gauss to millitesla | 0.1 mT |
| gauss to microtesla | 100 µT |
| gauss to nanotesla | 100000 nT |
| gauss (G) | 1 G |
| gauss to milligauss | 1000 mG |
| gauss to kilogauss | 0.001 kG |
Convert between tesla, millitesla, microtesla, nanotesla, gauss, milligauss and kilogauss. The gauss is the CGS unit: 1 G = 10⁻⁴ T exactly, so 1 T = 10 000 G.
Gauss, tesla and oersted
Gauss and tesla measure flux density B. Oersted and A/m measure field strength H. In air or vacuum 1 Oe corresponds to 1 G, which is why the two are often mixed up, but inside magnetic materials B and H differ by the permeability and must not be converted into each other.
Magnetic Flux Density unit definitions
- tesla (T)
- The tesla is the SI unit of magnetic flux density (B), equal to one weber per square metre. The Earth’s field is about 50 µT; a fridge magnet about 5 mT; an MRI scanner 1.5–3 T.
- gauss (G)
- The gauss is the CGS unit of magnetic flux density, exactly 10⁻⁴ tesla, so 10 000 G = 1 T. It is still widely used for magnets and gaussmeters.
- millitesla (mT)
- The millitesla is one thousandth of a tesla, equal to 10 gauss. It is a convenient unit for magnets, sensors and magnetic particle testing.
- microtesla (µT)
- The microtesla is one millionth of a tesla, equal to 10 milligauss. The Earth’s magnetic field is roughly 25–65 µT depending on location.
- milligauss (mG)
- The milligauss is one thousandth of a gauss, equal to 0.1 µT. EMF meters for household and power-line fields commonly read in milligauss.
- nanotesla (nT)
- The nanotesla is one billionth of a tesla. In geophysics it is also called the gamma (γ).

- kilogauss (kG)
- The kilogauss is one thousand gauss, exactly 0.1 tesla. Magnet grades often quote remanence (Br) in kilogauss.
