Convert Gammas to Kiloteslas
Convert Gammas (γ) to Kiloteslas (kT) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
kT = γ × 1.000000000e-12
About Gammas
The gamma (γ) equals exactly 1 nT = 10⁻⁹ T. A legacy CGS-adjacent unit adopted in geophysics and aeromagnetic surveying before SI. Total-field aeromagnetic surveys measure local anomalies of a few γ to thousands of γ over mineral deposits. 1 γ = 1 nT = 10⁻⁹ T.
About Kiloteslas
The kilotesla (kT) equals 10³ T. Encountered only in pulsed-power physics experiments: the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory (NHMFL) 100 T pulsed magnets approach 0.1 kT; explosive-driven flux compression generators have reached 2.8 kT (2 800 T) in short pulses. 1 kT = 10³ T = 10⁷ G.
