Microtesla to nanotesla
Type a value in µT to get it in nT instantly.
1,000nT
That's 1,000,000× as strong as brain activity, while the Earth’s field is 50× stronger. That is about 0.02× the Earth’s own magnetic field.
What it means
How strong is that?
Field strengths are typical values. The Earth’s field varies from 25 to 65 microtesla depending on where you stand.
The math
How to convert µT to nT
To convert microtesla to nanotesla, multiply by 1,000.
Example: 1 µT × 1,000 = 1,000 nT.
In the other direction, 1 nT = 0.001 µT.

The units
About these units
Microtesla (µT)
A millionth of a tesla. The Earth’s field is about 50 µT, the unit of compasses and phone sensors.
Nanotesla (nT)
A billionth of a tesla, used in geophysics and space weather.
