How to Convert Milliteslas to Microteslas
To convert milliteslas to microteslas, multiply the magnetic flux density by the following conversion ratio: 1,000 microteslas/millitesla.
Since one millitesla is equal to 1,000 microteslas, you can use this simple formula to convert:
The magnetic flux density in microteslas is equal to the magnetic flux density in milliteslas multiplied by 1,000.
For example, here's how to convert 5 milliteslas to microteslas using the formula above.
How Many Microteslas Are in a Millitesla?
There are 1,000 microteslas in a millitesla, which is why we use this value in the formula above.
Our millitesla to microtesla 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 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 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 milliteslas (mT) and microteslas (µT), keep full floating-point precision (1 mT = 1,000 µT; 1 µT = 0.001 mT) during intermediate calculations and round only the final microtesla figure to match your instrument tolerance.
