How to Convert Microteslas to Milliteslas
To convert microteslas to milliteslas, multiply the magnetic flux density by the following conversion ratio: 0.001 milliteslas/microtesla.
Since one microtesla is equal to 0.001 milliteslas, you can use this simple formula to convert:
The magnetic flux density in milliteslas is equal to the magnetic flux density in microteslas multiplied by 0.001.
For example, here's how to convert 5 microteslas to milliteslas using the formula above.
How Many Milliteslas Are in a Microtesla?
There are 0.001 milliteslas in a microtesla, which is why we use this value in the formula above.
Our microtesla to millitesla calculator automatically converts your magnetic flux density measurements with full decimal and scientific precision across US customary, imperial, and SI metric standards.

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). [1]
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.
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 microteslas (µT) and milliteslas (mT), keep full floating-point precision (1 µT = 0.001 mT; 1 mT = 1,000 µT) during intermediate calculations and round only the final millitesla figure to match your instrument tolerance.
