Nanoteslas to Gauss formula and what each symbol means
G = nT × 0.00001
| Symbol | Meaning |
|---|---|
| nT | Nanotesla |
| G | Gauss |
Nanoteslas to Gauss examples
1 nT
1 nT × 0.00001 = 0.00001 G.
10 nT
10 nT × 0.00001 = 0.0001 G.
100 nT
100 nT × 0.00001 = 0.001 G.
Nanoteslas compared with Gauss
One G is 100,000 times as large as one nT, so your number gets smaller when you convert nanoteslas to gauss and bigger when you convert back. If the answer is not smaller than what you typed, you multiplied instead of dividing.
About nanoteslas and gauss
Nanotesla (nT): Nanotesla, 1×10⁻⁹ T. Gauss (G): The gauss, exactly 1×10⁻⁴ T.
How to calculate Nanoteslas to Gauss step by step
- Enter the value in nT (the starting unit).
- Multiply by 0.00001, because 1 nT = 0.00001 G.
- The product is the value in G. To go back, divide by 0.00001 or multiply by 100,000.

- Dividing when you should multiply: from nT to G multiply by 0.00001; from G to nT divide by 0.00001.
Nanoteslas to Gauss FAQ
How many G are in 1 nT?
1 nT equals 0.00001 G.
How many nT are in 1 G?
1 G equals 100,000 nT.
Is 1 nT = 0.00001 G an exact conversion?

What is a gauss (G)?
The gauss, exactly 1×10⁻⁴ T.
How can I estimate nanoteslas to gauss in my head?
One G is 100,000 times as large as one nT, so your number gets smaller when you convert nanoteslas to gauss and bigger when you convert back. If the answer is not smaller than what you typed, you multiplied instead of dividing.
What is 0.5 nT in gauss?
0.5 nT = 0.000005 G (since 0.5 × 0.00001).
What is 25 nT in gauss?
25 nT = 0.00025 G (since 25 × 0.00001).
What is 80 nT in gauss?
80 nT = 0.0008 G (since 80 × 0.00001).
How many decimals should I keep when converting nT to G?
Match the precision of your original measurement. For example, 0.0001 G rounds to 0.0001 G at 3 significant figures; keep more digits only for engineering or scientific work.
