Nanoteslas to Microteslas formula and what each symbol means
µT = nT × 0.001
| Symbol | Meaning |
|---|---|
| nT | Nanotesla |
| µT | Microtesla |
Nanoteslas to Microteslas examples
1 nT
1 nT × 0.001 = 0.001 µT.
10 nT
10 nT × 0.001 = 0.01 µT.
100 nT
100 nT × 0.001 = 0.1 µT.
Nanoteslas compared with Microteslas
One µT is 1,000 times as large as one nT, so your number gets smaller when you convert nanoteslas to microteslas and bigger when you convert back. If the answer is not smaller than what you typed, you multiplied instead of dividing.
About nanoteslas and microteslas
Nanotesla (nT): Nanotesla, 1×10⁻⁹ T. Microtesla (µT): Microtesla, 1×10⁻⁶ T.
How to calculate Nanoteslas to Microteslas step by step
- Enter the value in nT (the starting unit).
- Multiply by 0.001, because 1 nT = 0.001 µT.
- The product is the value in µT. To go back, divide by 0.001 or multiply by 1,000.

Nanoteslas to Microteslas FAQ
How many µT are in 1 nT?
1 nT equals 0.001 µT.
How many nT are in 1 µT?
1 µT equals 1,000 nT.
Is 1 nT = 0.001 µT an exact conversion?
The factor is shown rounded to 7 significant figures (0.001). The calculator above uses more digits.
What is a microtesla (µT)?
Microtesla, 1×10⁻⁶ T.
How can I estimate nanoteslas to microteslas in my head?
One µT is 1,000 times as large as one nT, so your number gets smaller when you convert nanoteslas to microteslas and bigger when you convert back. If the answer is not smaller than what you typed, you multiplied instead of dividing.
What is 80 nT in microteslas?
80 nT = 0.08 µT (since 80 × 0.001).
What is 500 nT in microteslas?
500 nT = 0.5 µT (since 500 × 0.001).
What is 15 nT in microteslas?
15 nT = 0.015 µT (since 15 × 0.001).
How many decimals should I keep when converting nT to µT?
Match the precision of your original measurement. For example, 0.01 µT rounds to 0.01 µT at 3 significant figures; keep more digits only for engineering or scientific work.
