How to Convert Picoteslas to Milliteslas
The picotesla and millitesla are both units of magnetic field. By definition, 1 millitesla equals exactly 1e18 picoteslas. This means to convert picoteslas to milliteslas, you divide by 1e18.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 pT to milliteslas:
We need to convert picoteslas to milliteslas
Since 1 mT = 1e18 pT, divide by 1e18
5 ÷ 1e18 = 5e-18
5 pT = 5e-18 mT

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.
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.
