Enter the number of kiloteslas that you want to convert to teslas.
How to Convert Kiloteslas to Teslas
The kilotesla and tesla are both units of magnetic field. By definition, 1 kilotesla equals exactly 1000 teslas. This means to convert kiloteslas to teslas, you multiply by 1000.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 kT to teslas:
We need to convert kiloteslas to teslas
Since 1 kT = 1000 T, multiply by 1000
5 × 1000 = 5000
5 kT = 5000 T

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).
Tesla (T)
The tesla (T) is the SI unit of magnetic flux density (magnetic field strength). Named after Nikola Tesla. MRI machines: 1.5-7 T, neodymium magnet surface: 1-1.4 T, Earth's field: ~50 μT. One tesla = one weber per square meter = 10,000 gauss.
