gauss to decitesla
Convert gauss (G) to decitesla (dT). Use an editable magnetic flux density converter, conversion formula, and reference table.
1 G = 0.001 dT
Conversion formula
One gauss equals 0.001 decitesla. Multiply your value in gauss by this factor to get decitesla. For the reverse conversion, divide by the same factor.
Worked example
To convert 5 gauss:5 × 0.001 = 0.005 dT

About these measurements
Magnetic flux density describes a magnetic field over area.
The base reference used here is the tesla. One gauss is 0.0001 base units; one decitesla is 0.1 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 G to dT?
Multiply the quantity in G by 0.001. You can also type the value into the converter above.
Can I reverse the conversion?
Yes. Use the swap button or open the decitesla to gauss converter.
