Convert Gammas to Picoteslas
Convert Gammas (γ) to Picoteslas (pT) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
pT = γ × 1000
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 Picoteslas
The picotesla (pT) equals 10⁻¹² T. Used in magnetocardiography (MCG) and magnetic anomaly detection (MAD) - the heart's magnetic field peaks at around 50-100 pT; a submerged ferromagnetic submarine distorts Earth's field by a few pT at detection range. 1 pT = 10⁻¹² T.
