Nanotesla to Microtesla Converter

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

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.

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.
