Gamma to Microtesla Converter

Use this page to convert gamma values into microtesla, with background details, formulas, a worked example, and a quick conversion table.

Gamma

One gamma is equal to one billionth of a tesla (1.0E-9 teslas), or 1 nanotesla.

History: Frequently used in geophysics and space physics.

Current use: Standard in geomagnetism and measuring planetary magnetic fields.

Also written as γ.

Microtesla

One microtesla is equal to one millionth of a tesla (1e-6 teslas).

History: Earth's geomagnetic field is about 25 to 65 microteslas, making this scale practical for environmental fields.

Current use: Used for geomagnetism, compass calibration, electromagnetic exposure measurements, and weak-field sensors.

Also written as uT.
