Enter the number of milliteslas that you want to convert to gammas.
How to Convert Milliteslas to Gammas
The millitesla and gamma are both units of magnetic field. By definition, 1 millitesla equals exactly 1e15 gammas. This means to convert milliteslas to gammas, you multiply by 1e15.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 mT to gammas:
We need to convert milliteslas to gammas
Since 1 mT = 1e15 γ, multiply by 1e15
5 × 1e15 = 5e15
5 mT = 5e15 γ

About These Units
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.
Gamma (γ)
The gamma (γ) equals exactly 1 nanotesla (10⁻⁹ T). Traditional unit in geophysics and aeromagnetic surveys. Earth's field: 25,000-65,000 γ. Magnetic anomalies for mineral exploration measured in gammas. Largely replaced by nanotesla in modern usage.
