Units explained
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.
Femtogram
A femtogram (fg) equals 10^-18 kilogram.
From the SI prefix 'femto-' (from Danish/Norwegian 'femten', fifteen).
Nanotechnology and high-sensitivity mass spectrometry.
The femto- prefix was adopted by the CGPM in 1975.
Point (1/100 carat) to Femtogram conversion formula
The relationship between points (1/100 carat) and femtograms:
To convert points (1/100 carat) to femtograms, multiply the value in points (1/100 carat) by 2e+12. To reverse, multiply femtograms by 5e-13.

Step-by-step: convert points (1/100 carat) to femtograms
- Write down the value in points (1/100 carat) (pt).
- Multiply that value by the factor 2e+12.
- The product is the equivalent value in femtograms (fg).
- To reverse, multiply the femtogram value by 5e-13.
Worked examples
Example 1 — Convert 1 pt to fg:
1 × 2e+12 = 2e+12 fg
Example 2 — Convert 100 pt to fg:
100 × 2e+12 = 2e+14 fg
Real-world example — Infrared to visible-spectrum mapping
A 10-point (1/100 carat) thermal infrared wavelength corresponds to a much larger number in femtograms, the unit favoured for ultraviolet and visible-light specifications.
10 pt × 2e+12 = 2e+13 fg
Real-world example — Mid-micron to nanometer
3 points (1/100 carat) equals 3,000 femtograms — useful when relating mid-infrared wavelengths (typically quoted in microns) to nanometer-scale visible-light wavelength tables.
3 pt × 2e+12 = 6e+12 fg
Real-world example — From microns to sub-micron features
One point (1/100 carat) equals one thousand femtograms — the conversion semiconductor designers do constantly when comparing mask feature dimensions to actual transistor gate lengths.
1 pt × 2e+12 = 2e+12 fg
