About These Units
Kilogauss (kG)
A kilogauss (kG) equals 1,000 gauss or 0.1 tesla. Laboratory electromagnets: 1-2.5 kG typical. Superconducting magnets: 10-20+ kG. MRI machines: 15-70 kG (1.5-7 T). Common in older physics literature and some industrial specifications.
Nanotesla (nT)
A nanotesla (nT) equals 10⁻⁹ teslas, identical to the gamma unit. Used in geophysics, space physics, and magnetometry. Earth's field: 25,000-65,000 nT. Geomagnetic storms cause variations of 100-1000 nT. Standard unit for geomagnetic surveys.
