decatesla to centitesla
Convert decatesla (daT) to centitesla (cT). Use an editable magnetic flux density converter, conversion formula, and reference table.
1 daT = 1,000 cT
Conversion formula
One decatesla equals 1,000 centitesla. Multiply your value in decatesla by this factor to get centitesla. For the reverse conversion, divide by the same factor.
Worked example
To convert 5 decatesla:5 × 1,000 = 5,000 cT

About these measurements
Magnetic flux density describes a magnetic field over area.
The base reference used here is the tesla. One decatesla is 10 base units; one centitesla is 0.01 base units.
Important distinctions
One gauss equals 0.0001 tesla.
Precision
The converter uses stored conversion factors and floating-point arithmetic. Results display up to ten significant digits, switching to scientific notation for very small or large values. Keep the precision of your original measurement when reporting results.
