Picotesla to Microtesla Converter
Use this page to convert picotesla values into microtesla, with background details, formulas, a worked example, and a quick conversion table.
Conversion formula
1 pT = 0.000001 uT
1 uT = 1,000,000 pT
Example: 1 pT = 0.000001 uT
Picotesla
One picotesla is equal to one trillionth of a tesla (1e-12 teslas).
History: Picotesla measurements emerged with SQUID magnetometry and biomagnetic research.
Current use: Used for magnetoencephalography, biomagnetism, geophysical surveys, and SQUID sensors.
Also written as pT.
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.
