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

How to convert milligauss to microteslas
To convert milligauss to microteslas, multiply the number of milligauss by 0.1.
Formula
µT = mG × 0.1
Examples
- 5 mG = 5 × 0.1 = 0.5 µT
- 25 mG = 25 × 0.1 = 2.5 µT
- 100 mG = 100 × 0.1 = 10 µT

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