Microtesla to Nanotesla Converter
Use this page to convert microtesla values into nanotesla, with background details, formulas, a worked example, and a quick conversion table.
Conversion formula
1 uT = 1,000 nT
1 nT = 0.001 uT
Example: 1 uT = 1,000 nT
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.
Nanotesla
One nanotesla is equal to one billionth of a tesla (1e-9 teslas).
History: Nanotesla values are common in geomagnetism, where gamma is an older equivalent name.
Current use: Used for geomagnetic surveys, space weather, magnetometers, and weak magnetic field measurements.
Also written as nT.
