microtesla to decitesla
Convert microtesla (μT) to decitesla (dT). Use an editable magnetic flux density converter, conversion formula, and reference table.
1 μT = 0.00001 dT
Conversion formula
One microtesla equals 0.00001 decitesla. Multiply your value in microtesla by this factor to get decitesla. For the reverse conversion, divide by the same factor.
Worked example
To convert 5 microtesla:5 × 0.00001 = 0.00005 dT

About these measurements
Magnetic flux density describes a magnetic field over area.
The base reference used here is the tesla. One microtesla is 0.000001 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 μT to dT?
Multiply the quantity in μT by 0.00001. 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 microtesla converter.
