Convert Kilotesla to Gauss
Input the number of kiloteslas you want to convert to gauss.
How to Convert Kiloteslas to Gauss
The kilotesla and gauss are both units of magnetic field. By definition, 1 kilotesla equals exactly 10000000 gauss. This means to convert kiloteslas to gauss, you multiply by 10000000.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 kT to gauss:
We need to convert kiloteslas to gauss
Since 1 kT = 10000000 G, multiply by 10000000
5 × 10000000 = 50000000
5 kT = 50000000 G

About These Units
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).
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.
