Convert Microteslas (µT) to Gauss (G)
Ever wondered what 1 µT equals in G? It is exactly 0.01 G, and any other value scales linearly from there.
Formula
1 µT = 0.01 G
To convert µT to G, divide the value by 100.

About the units
Gauss (G) — The gauss is the CGS magnetic unit (10,000 G = 1 T), named after Carl Friedrich Gauss. Magnet datasheets and older physics texts still quote gauss — the Earth’s magnetic field is conveniently about 0.5 G.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where does the unit µT come from?
Microteslas is a standard Magnetic Field unit used in specific regions or fields. Its definition has been refined over time to match international measurement standards.
Where does the unit G come from?
The gauss is the CGS magnetic unit (10,000 G = 1 T), named after Carl Friedrich Gauss. Magnet datasheets and older physics texts still quote gauss — the Earth’s magnetic field is conveniently about 0.5 G.
How much is 1 µT in G?
1 µT equals 0.01 G. This ratio applies to every conversion between the two units.
What is the formula to convert µT to G?
The formula is 1 µT = 0.01 G. To convert any value, divide the value by 100.
How do I convert µT to G by hand?
Take the value in µT and divide the value by 100. The result is the same value expressed in G.
Is the conversion from µT to G exact?
The ratio 0.01 is defined to high precision and is exact for most practical purposes. Rounding only matters when many decimal places are needed.
