Convert Picotesla to Tesla
Type the number of picoteslas that you wish to convert to teslas.
How to Convert Picoteslas to Teslas
The picotesla and tesla are both units of magnetic field. By definition, 1 tesla equals exactly 1e12 picoteslas. This means to convert picoteslas to teslas, you divide by 1e12.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 pT to teslas:
We need to convert picoteslas to teslas
Since 1 T = 1e12 pT, divide by 1e12
5 ÷ 1e12 = 5e-12
5 pT = 5e-12 T

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.
Tesla (T)
The tesla (T) is the SI unit of magnetic flux density (magnetic field strength). Named after Nikola Tesla. MRI machines: 1.5-7 T, neodymium magnet surface: 1-1.4 T, Earth's field: ~50 μT. One tesla = one weber per square meter = 10,000 gauss.
