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

Quintal (metric)

What is a quintal (metric)?

The metric quintal (q) equals 100 kilograms.

Origin of the quintal (metric)

From Latin 'centenarius' (hundredweight) via Arabic 'qintar'.

Where it is used

Agriculture across India, Europe, and Latin America for grain and produce.

When and where it was developed

Fixed at 100 kg with the spread of the metric system in the 19th century.

Point (1/100 carat) to Quintal (metric) conversion formula

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

1 pt = 2e-8 q
1 q = 5e+7 pt

To convert points (1/100 carat) to quintals (metric), multiply the value in points (1/100 carat) by 2e-8. To reverse, multiply quintals (metric) by 5e+7.

How to use this converter

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

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

  1. Write down the value in points (1/100 carat) (pt).
  2. Multiply that value by the factor 2e-8.
  3. The product is the equivalent value in quintals (metric) (q).
  4. To reverse, multiply the quintal (metric) value by 5e+7.

Worked examples

Example 1 — Convert 1 pt to q:
1 × 2e-8 = 2e-8 q

Example 2 — Convert 100 pt to q:
100 × 2e-8 = 2e-6 q

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-8 = 6e-8 q

Real-world example — Plastic-film thickness alternates

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

150 pt × 2e-8 = 3e-6 q

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 quintals (metric) for direct comparison across supplier datasheets.

70 pt × 2e-8 = 1.4e-6 q
