How to Convert Gauss to Milliteslas
To convert gauss to milliteslas, multiply the magnetic flux density by the following conversion ratio: 0.1 milliteslas/gauss.
Since one gauss is equal to 0.1 milliteslas, you can use this simple formula to convert:
The magnetic flux density in milliteslas is equal to the magnetic flux density in gauss multiplied by 0.1.
For example, here's how to convert 100 gauss to milliteslas using the formula above.
How Many Milliteslas Are in a Gauss?
There are 0.1 milliteslas in a gauss, which is why we use this value in the formula above.
Our gauss to millitesla calculator automatically converts your magnetic flux density measurements with full decimal and scientific precision across US customary, imperial, and SI metric standards.
Gauss and milliteslas 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 Millitesla?
A millitesla is a unit of magnetic flux density equal to 1/1,000 of a tesla (0.001 T). One-thousandth of a Tesla (10 Gauss). [2]
The millitesla is classified as a metric and SI-compatible unit of magnetic flux density. Milliteslas can be abbreviated as mT; for example, 1 millitesla can be written as 1 mT.
In the metric system, "milli" is the standard SI prefix for thousandths, or 10⁻³. This makes the millitesla (mT) a convenient decimal multiple of the tesla (T).
In practice, milliteslas (mT) 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 milliteslas (mT), keep full floating-point precision (1 G = 0.1 mT; 1 mT = 10 G) during intermediate calculations and round only the final millitesla figure to match your instrument tolerance.
