Metric / SI

Gigagram

What is a gigagram?

A gigagram (Gg) equals 10^6 kilograms, the same as 1,000 metric tons.

Origin of the gigagram

From the SI prefix 'giga-' (from Greek 'gigas', giant).

Where it is used

Bulk commodity, emissions, and freight accounting.

When and where it was developed

The giga- prefix entered the SI in 1960.

Point (1/100 carat) to Gigagram conversion formula

The relationship between points (1/100 carat) and gigagrams:

1 pt = 2e-12 Gg
1 Gg = 5e+11 pt

To convert points (1/100 carat) to gigagrams, multiply the value in points (1/100 carat) by 2e-12. To reverse, multiply gigagrams by 5e+11.

How to use this converter

Type a value into the calculator. The result in gigagrams updates as you type. Tap a quick value, copy the result with one click, or use the swap arrow to jump straight to the Gigagram to Point (1/100 carat) converter for the reverse direction.

Step-by-step: convert points (1/100 carat) to gigagrams

  1. Write down the value in points (1/100 carat) (pt).
  2. Multiply that value by the factor 2e-12.
  3. The product is the equivalent value in gigagrams (Gg).
  4. To reverse, multiply the gigagram value by 5e+11.

Worked examples

Example 1 — Convert 1 pt to Gg:
1 × 2e-12 = 2e-12 Gg

Example 2 — Convert 100 pt to Gg:
100 × 2e-12 = 2e-10 Gg

Real-world example — Hair-width scale measurements

A 70-point (1/100 carat) measurement (about the diameter of a human hair) is the kind of value materials engineers regularly express in adjacent micro-scale units like gigagrams for direct comparison across supplier datasheets.

70 pt × 2e-12 = 1.4e-10 Gg

Real-world example — Paper and film thicknesses

At the thickness of office paper (roughly 3 points (1/100 carat)), converting between sub-millimeter units is routine for packaging and printing buyers comparing quotes from metric and US suppliers.

3 pt × 2e-12 = 6e-12 Gg

Real-world example — Plastic-film thickness alternates

A 150-point (1/100 carat) plastic film converts cleanly to gigagrams — useful for packaging buyers reconciling supplier datasheets across metric and US measurement systems.

150 pt × 2e-12 = 3e-10 Gg
