Carat (metric)

What is a carat (metric)?

The metric carat (ct) equals exactly 200 milligrams (0.0002 kg).

Origin of the carat (metric)

From Arabic 'qirat' and Greek 'keration', the carob seed once used as a counterweight.

Where it is used

The worldwide standard for gemstone and diamond mass.

When and where it was developed

The metric carat was fixed at 200 mg internationally in 1907.

Scientific / Atomic

Muon Mass

What is a muon mass?

The muon rest mass is about 1.884E-28 kg.

Origin of the muon mass

The mass of the muon, a heavy cousin of the electron.

Where it is used

Particle and high-energy physics.

When and where it was developed

Determined after the muon was discovered in cosmic rays in 1936.

Carat (metric) to Muon 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 muon mass:

1 ct = 1.061834e+24 mµ
1 mµ = 9.417663e-25 ct

To convert carats (metric) to muon mass, multiply the value in carats (metric) by 1.061834e+24. To reverse, multiply muon mass by 9.417663e-25.

How to use this converter

Type a value into the calculator. The result in muon mass updates as you type. Tap a quick value, copy the result with one click, or use the swap arrow to jump straight to the Muon Mass to Carat (metric) converter for the reverse direction.

Step-by-step: convert carats (metric) to muon mass

  1. Write down the value in carats (metric) (ct).
  2. Multiply that value by the factor 1.061834e+24.
  3. The product is the equivalent value in muon mass (mµ).
  4. To reverse, multiply the muon mass value by 9.417663e-25.

Worked examples

Example 1 — Convert 1 ct to mµ:
1 × 1.061834e+24 = 1.061834e+24 mµ

Example 2 — Convert 100 ct to mµ:
100 × 1.061834e+24 = 1.061834e+26 mµ

Real-world example — From microns to sub-micron features

One carat (metric) equals one thousand muon mass — the conversion semiconductor designers do constantly when comparing mask feature dimensions to actual transistor gate lengths.

1 ct × 1.061834e+24 = 1.061834e+24 mµ

Real-world example — Infrared to visible-spectrum mapping

A 10-carat (metric) thermal infrared wavelength corresponds to a much larger number in muon mass, the unit favoured for ultraviolet and visible-light specifications.

10 ct × 1.061834e+24 = 1.061834e+25 mµ

Real-world example — Mid-micron to nanometer

3 carats (metric) equals 3,000 muon mass — useful when relating mid-infrared wavelengths (typically quoted in microns) to nanometer-scale visible-light wavelength tables.

3 ct × 1.061834e+24 = 3.185503e+24 mµ
