Convert Microteslas to Gammas
Convert Microteslas (µT) to Gammas (γ) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
γ = µT × 1000
About Microteslas
The microtesla (µT) equals 10⁻⁶ T. Earth's surface magnetic field is approximately 25-65 µT; the WHO recommends 100 µT as an occupational limit for 50/60 Hz fields; metal detectors and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) tests routinely work in the µT range. 1 µT = 10⁻⁶ T = 10 mG.
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.
