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.

Electron Mass (rest) to Carat (metric) 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 electron mass (rest) and carats (metric):

1 me = 4.554695e-27 ct
1 ct = 2.195537e+26 me

To convert electron mass (rest) to carats (metric), multiply the value in electron mass (rest) by 4.554695e-27. To reverse, multiply carats (metric) by 2.195537e+26.

How to use this converter

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

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

  1. Write down the value in electron mass (rest) (me).
  2. Multiply that value by the factor 4.554695e-27.
  3. The product is the equivalent value in carats (metric) (ct).
  4. To reverse, multiply the carat (metric) value by 2.195537e+26.

Worked examples

Example 1 — Convert 1 me to ct:
1 × 4.554695e-27 = 4.554695e-27 ct

Example 2 — Convert 100 me to ct:
100 × 4.554695e-27 = 4.554695e-25 ct

Real-world example — Sub-visible-light wavelength

500 electron mass (rest) (the green-yellow visible band) equals 0.5 carats (metric) — the canonical conversion in optics between wavelength specifications and micron-scale lens-coating thicknesses.

500 me × 4.554695e-27 = 2.277347e-24 ct

Real-world example — Spanning sub-micron to micron scale

Crossing from electron mass (rest) to carats (metric) is the everyday workflow of microscopy and semiconductor engineering — a measurement of 1000 electron mass (rest) translates to a much more compact value in carats (metric) that fits the scale of biological cells and process nodes.

1000 me × 4.554695e-27 = 4.554695e-24 ct
