decitesla to kilotesla
Convert decitesla (dT) to kilotesla (kT). Use an editable magnetic flux density converter, conversion formula, and reference table.
1 dT = 0.0001 kT
Conversion formula
One decitesla equals 0.0001 kilotesla. Multiply your value in decitesla by this factor to get kilotesla. For the reverse conversion, divide by the same factor.
Worked example
To convert 5 decitesla:5 × 0.0001 = 0.0005 kT

About these measurements
Magnetic flux density describes a magnetic field over area.
The base reference used here is the tesla. One decitesla is 0.1 base units; one kilotesla is 1,000 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.
Common questions
How do I convert dT to kT?
Multiply the quantity in dT by 0.0001. You can also type the value into the converter above.
Can I reverse the conversion?
Yes. Use the swap button or open the kilotesla to decitesla converter.
