Convert Gamma to Kilotesla
Input the number of gammas you want to convert to kiloteslas.
How to Convert Gammas to Kiloteslas
The gamma and kilotesla are both units of magnetic field. By definition, 1 kilotesla equals exactly 1e12 gammas. This means to convert gammas to kiloteslas, you divide by 1e12.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 γ to kiloteslas:
We need to convert gammas to kiloteslas
Since 1 kT = 1e12 γ, divide by 1e12
5 ÷ 1e12 = 5e-12
5 γ = 5e-12 kT

About These Units
Gamma (γ)
The gamma (γ) equals exactly 1 nanotesla (10⁻⁹ T). Traditional unit in geophysics and aeromagnetic surveys. Earth's field: 25,000-65,000 γ. Magnetic anomalies for mineral exploration measured in gammas. Largely replaced by nanotesla in modern usage.
Kilotesla (kT)
A kilotesla (kT) equals 1,000 teslas. Achieved only in extreme conditions: pulsed magnets in laboratories reach 100+ T briefly, neutron star surfaces 100 MT to 100 GT. Strongest sustained lab field: ~45 T (National High Magnetic Field Lab).
