Origin of the carbon-12 atom mass

The reference nuclide that defines the unified atomic mass scale.

Where it is used

The defining standard for the atomic mass unit.

When and where it was developed

Chosen as the mass standard by IUPAC and IUPAP in 1960-1961.

Troy & Apothecary

Point (1/100 carat)

What is a point (1/100 carat)?

A point equals one-hundredth of a carat, or 2 milligrams.

Origin of the point (1/100 carat)

A subdivision of the metric carat for very small stones.

Where it is used

The diamond trade, for sub-carat stones.

When and where it was developed

Adopted alongside the metric carat in the 20th-century gem trade.

Carbon-12 Atom Mass to Point (1/100 carat) conversion formula

The relationship between carbon-12 atom mass and points (1/100 carat):

1 C-12 = 9.963234e-21 pt
1 pt = 1.00369e+20 C-12

To convert carbon-12 atom mass to points (1/100 carat), multiply the value in carbon-12 atom mass by 9.963234e-21. To reverse, multiply points (1/100 carat) by 1.00369e+20.
