Convert Millitesla to Gauss
Enter the number of milliteslas that you want to convert to gauss.
How to Convert Milliteslas to Gauss
The millitesla and gauss are both units of magnetic field. By definition, 1 millitesla equals exactly 10000000000 gauss. This means to convert milliteslas to gauss, you multiply by 10000000000.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 mT to gauss:
We need to convert milliteslas to gauss
Since 1 mT = 10000000000 G, multiply by 10000000000
5 × 10000000000 = 50000000000
5 mT = 50000000000 G

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.
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.
