1 γ = 0.001 uT
Example: 1 uT = 1,000 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.
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.
