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

Nanogram

What is a nanogram?

A nanogram (ng) equals 10^-12 kilogram.

Origin of the nanogram

From the SI prefix 'nano-' (from Greek 'nanos', dwarf).

Where it is used

Molecular biology, forensics, and toxicology.

When and where it was developed

The nano- prefix entered the SI in 1960.

Point (1/100 carat) to Nanogram conversion formula

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

1 pt = 2000000 ng
1 ng = 5e-7 pt

To convert points (1/100 carat) to nanograms, multiply the value in points (1/100 carat) by 2000000. To reverse, multiply nanograms by 5e-7.

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

  1. Write down the value in points (1/100 carat) (pt).
  2. Multiply that value by the factor 2000000.
  3. The product is the equivalent value in nanograms (ng).
  4. To reverse, multiply the nanogram value by 5e-7.

Worked examples

Example 1 — Convert 1 pt to ng:
1 × 2000000 = 2000000 ng

Example 2 — Convert 100 pt to ng:
100 × 2000000 = 2e+8 ng

Real-world example — Infrared to visible-spectrum mapping

A 10-point (1/100 carat) thermal infrared wavelength corresponds to a much larger number in nanograms, the unit favoured for ultraviolet and visible-light specifications.

10 pt × 2000000 = 2e+7 ng

Real-world example — Mid-micron to nanometer

3 points (1/100 carat) equals 3,000 nanograms — useful when relating mid-infrared wavelengths (typically quoted in microns) to nanometer-scale visible-light wavelength tables.

3 pt × 2000000 = 6000000 ng

Real-world example — From microns to sub-micron features

One point (1/100 carat) equals one thousand nanograms — the conversion semiconductor designers do constantly when comparing mask feature dimensions to actual transistor gate lengths.

1 pt × 2000000 = 2000000 ng
