Convert Picoteslas to Nanoteslas
Convert Picoteslas (pT) to Nanoteslas (nT) instantly and accurately.
Conversion Formula
nT = pT × 0.001
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.
About Nanoteslas
The nanotesla (nT) equals 10⁻⁹ T. The standard unit in geomagnetism and space physics: Earth's surface field is 25 000-65 000 nT; geomagnetic storms cause fluctuations of hundreds to thousands of nT; solar wind field at 1 AU is 2-10 nT. 1 nT = 10⁻⁹ T = 1 γ.
