Convert Gauss to Kilotesla
Input the number of gauss you want to convert to kiloteslas.
How to Convert Gauss to Kiloteslas
The gauss and kilotesla are both units of magnetic field. By definition, 1 kilotesla equals exactly 10000000 gauss. This means to convert gauss to kiloteslas, you divide by 10000000.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 G to kiloteslas:
We need to convert gauss to kiloteslas
Since 1 kT = 10000000 G, divide by 10000000
5 ÷ 10000000 = 5e-7
5 G = 5e-7 kT

About These Units
Gauss (G)
The gauss (G) is the CGS unit of magnetic flux density. One tesla = 10,000 gauss. Earth's field: 0.25-0.65 G. Refrigerator magnet: 50-100 G. Neodymium magnet: 10,000-14,000 G at surface. Named after mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauss.
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).
