Convert Microteslas to Kiloteslas
Convert Microteslas (µT) to Kiloteslas (kT) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
kT = µT × 1.000000000e-9
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 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.
