How it is calculated
mT = G × 0.1
Multiply the value in gauss by 0.1 to get milliteslas.
Example
To convert 25 G to milliteslas: 25 × 0.1 = 2.5 mT.

About the units
- Gauss
- The CGS unit of magnetic flux density, corresponding to exactly 0.0001 tesla, still common in magnet specifications.
- Millitesla
- A millitesla is exactly one thousandth of a tesla, which is 10 gauss.
Limits and caveats
- Results are rounded for display and computed with the browser's floating point precision (about 15 significant digits).
- Both unit factors are exact by their official definitions.
Questions about this tool
How many milliteslas are in one gauss?
1 G = 0.1 mT exactly.
How do I convert gauss to milliteslas?
Use mT = G × 0.1. For example, 25 G = 2.5 mT.
How many gauss are in one millitesla?
1 mT = 10 G.
How many gauss are in one tesla?
One tesla is exactly 10000 gauss, so a 1.5 tesla MRI scanner is 15000 gauss.
How strong is the Earth's magnetic field?
At the surface it ranges from about 25 to 65 microteslas depending on location, roughly 0.25 to 0.65 gauss.
