kilotesla to centitesla
Convert kilotesla (kT) to centitesla (cT). Use an editable magnetic flux density converter, conversion formula, and reference table.
1 kT = 100,000 cT
Conversion formula
One kilotesla equals 100,000 centitesla. Multiply your value in kilotesla by this factor to get centitesla. For the reverse conversion, divide by the same factor.
Worked example
To convert 5 kilotesla:5 × 100,000 = 500,000 cT

About these measurements
Magnetic flux density describes a magnetic field over area.
The base reference used here is the tesla. One kilotesla is 1,000 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.
Common questions
How do I convert kT to cT?
Multiply the quantity in kT by 100,000. You can also type the value into the converter above.
Can I reverse the conversion?
Yes. Use the swap button or open the centitesla to kilotesla converter.
