How to Convert Gauss to Microteslas
To convert gauss to microteslas, multiply the magnetic flux density by the following conversion ratio: 100 microteslas/gauss.
Since one gauss is equal to 100 microteslas, you can use this simple formula to convert:
The magnetic flux density in microteslas is equal to the magnetic flux density in gauss multiplied by 100.
For example, here's how to convert 5 gauss to microteslas using the formula above.
How Many Microteslas Are in a Gauss?
There are 100 microteslas in a gauss, which is why we use this value in the formula above.
Our gauss to microtesla calculator automatically converts your magnetic flux density measurements with full decimal and scientific precision across US customary, imperial, and SI metric standards.
Gauss and microteslas are both units used to measure magnetic flux density. Keep reading to learn more about each unit.
What Is a Gauss?
A gauss is a unit of magnetic flux density equal to 1/10,000 of a tesla (0.0001 T). CGS magnetic induction unit equal to 0.0001 Tesla (1 T = 10,000 G). [1]
The gauss is classified as a standard unit of magnetic flux density. Gauss can be abbreviated as G; for example, 1 gauss can be written as 1 G.
When working with gauss (G) in formulas or technical specifications, always verify whether your target system uses SI metric, US customary, or British imperial standards.
In practice, gauss (G) are widely used across fine-tolerance laboratory, analytical, and micro-scale magnetic flux density measurements within international standard workflows, engineering documentation, and technical data sheets.
What Is a Microtesla?
A microtesla is a unit of magnetic flux density equal to 1/1,000,000 of a tesla (0.000001 T). One-millionth of a Tesla (0.01 Gauss). [2]
The microtesla is classified as a metric and SI-compatible unit of magnetic flux density. Microteslas can be abbreviated as µT; for example, 1 microtesla can be written as 1 µT.
In the metric system, "micro" is the standard SI prefix for millionths, or 10⁻⁶. This makes the microtesla (µT) a convenient decimal multiple of the tesla (T).
In practice, microteslas (µT) are widely used across fine-tolerance laboratory, analytical, and micro-scale magnetic flux density measurements within SI metric workflows, engineering documentation, and technical data sheets.
When converting magnetic flux density between gauss (G) and microteslas (µT), keep full floating-point precision (1 G = 100 µT; 1 µT = 0.01 G) during intermediate calculations and round only the final microtesla figure to match your instrument tolerance.
