Centiteslas to microteslas converter
Convert centiteslas (cT) to microteslas (µT). Calculate any value, follow the unit-factor steps and check a conversion table.
Updated · How we checkUse a decimal point, such as 2.5. Enter a value in cT; the result is in µT.
Formula
Worked example
Convert 1 cT to µT:
1 cT ≈ 10,000 µT
Multiply your cT value by the factor above. The calculator uses the full conversion factor before rounding the displayed answer.

What centiteslas measure
Centiteslas (cT) represent magnetic flux density. One unit equals 10^-2 T. One tesla equals one weber per square meter of magnetic flux density.
Reading the result in microteslas
Microteslas (µT) represent magnetic flux density. One unit equals 10^-6 T. One tesla equals one weber per square meter of magnetic flux density.
Where this conversion helps
Normalize magnetic field readings or instrument specifications. Flux density B in teslas is distinct from field strength H in amperes per meter; material properties connect them.
How the scale changes
The input unit has a factor of 1e-2 T; the output unit has a factor of 1e-6 T. Multiply the entered number by the input factor, then divide by the output factor. The physical quantity stays the same while its numerical representation changes.
Reading very small or large results
Scientific notation keeps very small and large values readable: 2.5e-6 means 0.0000025. The converter calculates with 50 significant digits internally and displays up to 10. Exact unit definitions do not remove uncertainty from the original measurement.
