Gauss to Microteslas formula and what each symbol means
µT = G × 100
| Symbol | Meaning |
|---|---|
| G | Gauss |
| µT | Microtesla |
Gauss to Microteslas examples
1 G
1 G × 100 = 100 µT.
10 G
10 G × 100 = 1,000 µT.
100 G
100 G × 100 = 10,000 µT.
Gauss compared with Microteslas
One G is 100 times as large as one µT, so your number gets bigger when you convert gauss to microteslas and smaller when you convert back. If the answer is not larger than what you typed, you divided instead of multiplying.
About gauss and microteslas
Gauss (G): The gauss, exactly 1×10⁻⁴ T. Microtesla (µT): Microtesla, 1×10⁻⁶ T.
How to calculate Gauss to Microteslas step by step
- Enter the value in G (the starting unit).
- Multiply by 100, because 1 G = 100 µT.
- The product is the value in µT. To go back, divide by 100 or multiply by 0.01.
