Encyclopedia > Nanotesla

The nanotesla (nT) is a unit of magnetic flux density equal to 10−9 tesla (unit). Magnetic field density, otherwise known as magnetic flux density, is essentially what the layman knows as a magnetic field - akin to a gravitational or electric field. ... The tesla (symbol T) is the SI derived unit of magnetic flux density (or magnetic inductivity). ...


An old name for this unit is gamma (γ).

Earth Magnetometer - Unique Ghost Hunting Equipment (2030 words)
Since the earth's field fluctuates by typically 3-30 nanoteslas per hour, a resolution better than 1 nanotesla will not be of much additional benefit.
Until now, resolution of 1 nanotesla or.01 milligauss could be achieved only with very expensive, heavy, and high-power-consuming magnetometers such as proton-, overhauser-, and cesium- types.
Because.5% of 500 milligauss is 2.5 milligauss (=250 nanoteslas), this may seem to be a problem when reading changes in the earth's field from one point to the next with precision of.01 milligauss (= 1 nanotesla).
