  • 2000 gamma converts to 2 × 10⁻⁶ weber per square meter

Common Use Cases

  • Reporting geomagnetic field measurements and their variations gathered from ground magnetometers
  • Describing magnetic anomalies during geophysical exploration and mapping projects
  • Specifying magnetic field strengths in MRI and other medical imaging devices
  • Evaluating flux density levels in electric machine cores and transformers
  • Integrating space and Earth observation magnetometry data

Tips & Best Practices

  • Always use weber per square meter when compliance with SI units is necessary
  • Handle the very small converted values carefully to maintain numerical precision
  • Interpret gamma values contextually, noting they typically represent low magnetic field strengths
  • Cross-check results when integrating legacy gamma-based data into modern applications

Limitations

  • Gamma is not an official SI unit, so conversions are needed for standardized use
  • Converted values are in the nanotesla scale, requiring precise handling of small numbers
  • Gamma is mainly suited for weak magnetic fields, whereas weber/square meter applies across a wider flux density spectrum
