Microtesla to Milligauss conversion
1 µT = 10 mGone microtesla in milligauss
1 mG = 0.1 µTone milligauss in microteslas
Microtesla (µT): One millionth of a tesla. The Earth's magnetic field is about 25 to 65 µT.
Milligauss (mG): One thousandth of a gauss: exactly 0.1 µT. Used for EMF meters.

How to convert microteslas to milligauss
To convert microteslas to milligauss, multiply the number of microteslas by 10.
Formula
mG = µT × 10
Examples
- 5 µT = 5 × 10 = 50 mG
- 25 µT = 25 × 10 = 250 mG
- 100 µT = 100 × 10 = 1000 mG

Frequently asked questions
- How many milligauss are in one microtesla?
- One microtesla is exactly 10 milligauss.
- How do I convert milligauss to microteslas?
- To convert milligauss to microteslas, multiply the number of milligauss by 0.1. The formula is µT = mG × 0.1.
- Is this conversion exact?
- Yes. Both units have exact definitions and the factor 10 is exact. Displayed results are only rounded when they have many decimal places.
- Which is larger, a microtesla or a milligauss?
- A microtesla is 10 times larger than a milligauss. In other words, a milligauss is exactly 1/10 of a microtesla.
