Microteslas to Gauss formula and what each symbol means
G = µT × 0.01
| Symbol | Meaning |
|---|---|
| µT | Microtesla |
| G | Gauss |
Microteslas to Gauss examples
1 µT
1 µT × 0.01 = 0.01 G.
10 µT
10 µT × 0.01 = 0.1 G.
100 µT
100 µT × 0.01 = 1 G.
Microteslas compared with Gauss
One G is 100 times as large as one µT, so your number gets smaller when you convert microteslas to gauss and bigger when you convert back. If the answer is not smaller than what you typed, you multiplied instead of dividing.
About microteslas and gauss
Microtesla (µT): Microtesla, 1×10⁻⁶ T. Gauss (G): The gauss, exactly 1×10⁻⁴ T.
How to calculate Microteslas to Gauss step by step
- Enter the value in µT (the starting unit).
- Multiply by 0.01, because 1 µT = 0.01 G.
- The product is the value in G. To go back, divide by 0.01 or multiply by 100.
