How to Convert Milliteslas to Gauss
To convert milliteslas to gauss, multiply the magnetic flux density by the following conversion ratio: 10 gauss/millitesla.
Since one millitesla is equal to 10 gauss, you can use this simple formula to convert:
The magnetic flux density in gauss is equal to the magnetic flux density in milliteslas multiplied by 10.
For example, here's how to convert 50 milliteslas to gauss using the formula above.
How Many Gauss Are in a Millitesla?
There are 10 gauss in a millitesla, which is why we use this value in the formula above.
Our millitesla to gauss calculator automatically converts your magnetic flux density measurements with full decimal and scientific precision across US customary, imperial, and SI metric standards.
Milliteslas and gauss are both units used to measure magnetic flux density. Keep reading to learn more about each unit.
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). [1]
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.
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). [2]
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.
When converting magnetic flux density between milliteslas (mT) and gauss (G), keep full floating-point precision (1 mT = 10 G; 1 G = 0.1 mT) during intermediate calculations and round only the final gauss figure to match your instrument tolerance.
