Convert Picotesla to Kilotesla
Type the number of picoteslas that you wish to convert to kiloteslas.
How to Convert Picoteslas to Kiloteslas
The picotesla and kilotesla are both units of magnetic field. By definition, 1 kilotesla equals exactly 1e15 picoteslas. This means to convert picoteslas to kiloteslas, you divide by 1e15.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 pT to kiloteslas:
We need to convert picoteslas to kiloteslas
Since 1 kT = 1e15 pT, divide by 1e15
5 ÷ 1e15 = 5e-15
5 pT = 5e-15 kT

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.
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).
