Questions about this tool
How many teslas are in one kilogauss?
1 kG = 0.1 T exactly.
How do I convert kilogauss to teslas?
Use T = kG × 0.1. For example, 25 kG = 2.5 T.
How many kilogauss are in one tesla?
1 T = 10 kG.
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.
