How to Convert Picoteslas to Gauss
The picotesla and gauss are both units of magnetic field. By definition, 1 gauss equals exactly 100000000 picoteslas. This means to convert picoteslas to gauss, you divide by 100000000.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 pT to gauss:
We need to convert picoteslas to gauss
Since 1 G = 100000000 pT, divide by 100000000
5 ÷ 100000000 = 5e-8
5 pT = 5e-8 G

About These Units
Picotesla (pT)
A picotesla (pT) equals 10⁻¹² teslas. Used in magnetoencephalography (MEG) measuring brain magnetic fields (10-1000 fT), SQUID magnetometer research, and detecting extremely weak magnetic signals. Requires magnetically shielded rooms.
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.
