Convert teslas to kiloteslas by entering a value below.
How to Convert Teslas to Kiloteslas
The tesla and kilotesla are both units of magnetic field. By definition, 1 kilotesla equals exactly 1000 teslas. This means to convert teslas to kiloteslas, you divide by 1000.
Formula
Step-by-Step Example
Convert 5 T to kiloteslas:
We need to convert teslas to kiloteslas
Since 1 kT = 1000 T, divide by 1000
5 ÷ 1000 = 0.005
5 T = 0.005 kT

About These Units
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.
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).
