Units explained
Carat (metric)
The metric carat (ct) equals exactly 200 milligrams (0.0002 kg).
From Arabic 'qirat' and Greek 'keration', the carob seed once used as a counterweight.
The worldwide standard for gemstone and diamond mass.
The metric carat was fixed at 200 mg internationally in 1907.
Deuteron Mass
The deuteron mass is about 3.344E-27 kg.
The mass of the deuteron, the nucleus of deuterium (one proton and one neutron).
Nuclear physics and fusion-energy research.
Established with the discovery of deuterium by Harold Urey in 1931.
Carat (metric) to Deuteron Mass conversion formula
Note: this conversion uses a generally accepted modern value. Historical and regional definitions of this unit varied across times and places.
The relationship between carats (metric) and deuteron mass:
To convert carats (metric) to deuteron mass, multiply the value in carats (metric) by 5.981602e+22. To reverse, multiply deuteron mass by 1.671793e-23.

Step-by-step: convert carats (metric) to deuteron mass
- Write down the value in carats (metric) (ct).
- Multiply that value by the factor 5.981602e+22.
- The product is the equivalent value in deuteron mass (md).
- To reverse, multiply the deuteron mass value by 1.671793e-23.
Worked examples
Example 1 — Convert 1 ct to md:
1 × 5.981602e+22 = 5.981602e+22 md
Example 2 — Convert 100 ct to md:
100 × 5.981602e+22 = 5.981602e+24 md
Real-world example — From microns to sub-micron features
One carat (metric) equals one thousand deuteron mass — the conversion semiconductor designers do constantly when comparing mask feature dimensions to actual transistor gate lengths.
1 ct × 5.981602e+22 = 5.981602e+22 md
Real-world example — Infrared to visible-spectrum mapping
A 10-carat (metric) thermal infrared wavelength corresponds to a much larger number in deuteron mass, the unit favoured for ultraviolet and visible-light specifications.
10 ct × 5.981602e+22 = 5.981602e+23 md
Real-world example — Mid-micron to nanometer
3 carats (metric) equals 3,000 deuteron mass — useful when relating mid-infrared wavelengths (typically quoted in microns) to nanometer-scale visible-light wavelength tables.
3 ct × 5.981602e+22 = 1.794481e+23 md
