Millitesla (mT)

Units
A millitesla is one thousandth of a Tesla, a metric unit of magnetic flux density. It appears in our reports as a familiar companion to Gauss, so the same field strength reads in both units at a glance. Field strength is reported in Gauss with a millitesla value shown alongside it, and stronger fields are shown in Tesla rather than millitesla to keep the number small. One millitesla (mT) equals 10 Gauss, and 1,000 millitesla make one Tesla (T), so 600 Gauss is 60 mT and 15,000 Gauss is 1.5 T.
