The magnetization for dipolar fluids is studied treated separately at low and high external magnetic field. Canonical ensemble Monte Carlo simulations have been performed in dipolar hard sphere fluid in order to test these theoretical results. New expressions are introduced at low and high external field and ultimately the synthesized formula is given. The main difference in the structure of dipolar liquids at different external field is the average orientation of the formed chains. In case of infinitesimal external magnetic field there is no a well-specified direction, while at high enough external field actually the chains are parallel to this field. The present theory yields good result in the intermediate region as well where the most conspicuous failures are provided by the former theories.
