Units explained
Milligram
A milligram (mg) equals one-millionth of a kilogram, or 0.001 gram.
From the SI prefix 'milli-' (from Latin 'mille', thousand).
Standard for medicine dosing, nutrition labels, and fine jewelry.
Part of the original metric system of 1795.
Point (1/100 carat)
A point equals one-hundredth of a carat, or 2 milligrams.
A subdivision of the metric carat for very small stones.
The diamond trade, for sub-carat stones.
Adopted alongside the metric carat in the 20th-century gem trade.

1 × 0.5 = 0.5 pt
Example 2 — Convert 100 mg to pt:
100 × 0.5 = 50 pt
Real-world example — Hair-width scale measurements
A 70-milligram measurement (about the diameter of a human hair) is the kind of value materials engineers regularly express in adjacent micro-scale units like points (1/100 carat) for direct comparison across supplier datasheets.
70 mg × 0.5 = 35 pt
Real-world example — Paper and film thicknesses
At the thickness of office paper (roughly 3 milligrams), converting between sub-millimeter units is routine for packaging and printing buyers comparing quotes from metric and US suppliers.
3 mg × 0.5 = 1.5 pt
Real-world example — Plastic-film thickness alternates
A 150-milligram plastic film converts cleanly to points (1/100 carat) — useful for packaging buyers reconciling supplier datasheets across metric and US measurement systems.
150 mg × 0.5 = 75 pt
