Point (1/100 carat)

What is a point (1/100 carat)?

A point equals one-hundredth of a carat, or 2 milligrams.

Origin of the point (1/100 carat)

A subdivision of the metric carat for very small stones.

Where it is used

The diamond trade, for sub-carat stones.

When and where it was developed

Adopted alongside the metric carat in the 20th-century gem trade.

Metric / SI

Teragram

What is a teragram?

A teragram (Tg) equals 10^9 kilograms, or one million metric tons.

Origin of the teragram

From the SI prefix 'tera-' (from Greek 'teras', monster).

Where it is used

Used in large-scale environmental and industrial mass accounting.

When and where it was developed

The tera- prefix entered the SI in 1960.

Point (1/100 carat) to Teragram conversion formula

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

1 pt = 2e-15 Tg
1 Tg = 5e+14 pt

To convert points (1/100 carat) to teragrams, multiply the value in points (1/100 carat) by 2e-15. To reverse, multiply teragrams by 5e+14.

How to use this converter

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

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

  1. Write down the value in points (1/100 carat) (pt).
  2. Multiply that value by the factor 2e-15.
  3. The product is the equivalent value in teragrams (Tg).
  4. To reverse, multiply the teragram value by 5e+14.

Worked examples

Example 1 — Convert 1 pt to Tg:
1 × 2e-15 = 2e-15 Tg

Example 2 — Convert 100 pt to Tg:
100 × 2e-15 = 2e-13 Tg

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 teragrams for direct comparison across supplier datasheets.

70 pt × 2e-15 = 1.4e-13 Tg

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-15 = 6e-15 Tg

Real-world example — Plastic-film thickness alternates

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

150 pt × 2e-15 = 3e-13 Tg
