How to Convert Picoteslas to Oersteds
The picotesla and oersted are both units of magnetic field. By definition, 1 oersted equals exactly 7.95775e13 picoteslas. This means to convert picoteslas to oersteds, you divide by 7.95775e13.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 pT to oersteds:
We need to convert picoteslas to oersteds
Since 1 Oe = 7.95775e13 pT, divide by 7.95775e13
5 ÷ 7.95775e13 = 6.2831830605e-14
5 pT = 6.2831830605e-14 Oe

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.
Oersted (Oe)
The oersted (Oe) is the CGS unit of magnetic field intensity (H-field), not flux density (B-field). In vacuum/air, 1 Oe ≈ 79.58 A/m. Related to gauss through permeability: B(G) = μ × H(Oe). Named after Hans Christian Ørsted.
