Convert Kilotesla to Millitesla
Type the number of kiloteslas that you wish to convert to milliteslas.
How to Convert Kiloteslas to Milliteslas
The kilotesla and millitesla are both units of magnetic field. By definition, 1 millitesla equals exactly 1000 kiloteslas. This means to convert kiloteslas to milliteslas, you divide by 1000.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 kT to milliteslas:
We need to convert kiloteslas to milliteslas
Since 1 mT = 1000 kT, divide by 1000
5 ÷ 1000 = 0.005
5 kT = 0.005 mT

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).
Millitesla (mT)
A millitesla (mT) equals 0.001 teslas or 10 gauss. Common range for permanent magnets: fridge magnet 5 mT, speaker magnet 100-400 mT, hard drive head 10-50 mT. Used in electronics, medical devices, and magnetic sensors.
