Static magnetic fields are generally measured in Tesla (T), milliTesla (mT), and microTesla (microT, T) where: 1000 mT = 1 T 1000 (T) = 1 mT. In the US, fields are sometimes still measured in Gauss (G) and milliGauss (mG), where: 10,000 G equals 1 T 1 G = 100 microT 1 microT (T) = 10 mG. In the FAQ, mT (millitesla) will be the preferred term. Magnetic fields can be specified in either magnetic flux density or magnetic field strength. In the US and Western Europe field strengths are usually specified in units of magnetic flux density (Tesla or Gauss). In some of the Eastern European literature, however, magnetic fields are specified in Oersteds (Oe), which are units of magnetic field strength.
