Unit definition
Gauss (G) One gauss equals 0.0001 tesla.
Unit history
Gauss is represented here using its modern SI definition or an internationally accepted relationship to an SI base unit.
Step by step
1. Parse the value, including fractions.
2. Convert G to tesla.
3. Convert the base value to µT and apply your display precision.
Understand the result before using it
Gauss to Microtesla converts a value measured in Gauss (G) into the equivalent value in Microtesla (µT). The numerical value changes because the size and definition of the selected unit changes; the underlying quantity does not.
Calculated result
The conversion follows the displayed unit relationship. Display rounding can hide additional digits, and measured inputs cannot become more accurate merely by changing units.
Formula, assumptions, and example
Formula
result = input × 0.0001 ÷ 0.000001
Assumptions
- Gauss and Microtesla represent the same magnetic flux density quantity.
- The input is expressed in G; the output is expressed in µT.
- The unit definitions and conventional relationship shown on this page apply.
Worked example
1 G = 100 µT. For another value, apply the same relationship and round only to the precision your source measurement supports.
When to use it
Good uses
- Read a G measurement in a document that expects µT.
- Compare a gauss value with a value reported in microtesla.
- Check the G-to-µT arithmetic before copying the result into another calculation.
Limitations
Common mistakes to avoid
- Do not confuse G with another unit that has a similar name or symbol.
- Round the output to a precision justified by the original measurement.
- Verify safety-critical, regulated, laboratory, and contractual conversions against the controlling standard.

Questions about this calculation
How do I convert Gauss to Microtesla?
result = input × 0.0001 ÷ 0.000001 Using the displayed relationship, 1 G equals 100 µT.
How many Microtesla are in one Gauss?
One Gauss is 100 Microtesla. The displayed digits may be rounded.
Can I reverse the G to µT conversion?
Yes. Swap the source and target units in the converter. The reverse relationship converts µT back to G.
Is the Gauss to Microtesla result exact?
The conversion follows the displayed unit relationship. Display rounding can hide additional digits, and measured inputs cannot become more accurate merely by changing units.
