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

Microgram

What is a microgram?

A microgram (ug) equals 10^-9 kilogram, or one-millionth of a gram.

Origin of the microgram

From the SI prefix 'micro-' (from Greek 'mikros', small).

Where it is used

Trace nutrients, potent drug doses, and environmental contaminant levels.

When and where it was developed

The micro- prefix was incorporated into the SI in 1960.

Point (1/100 carat) to Microgram conversion formula

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

1 pt = 2000 µg
1 µg = 0.0005 pt

To convert points (1/100 carat) to micrograms, multiply the value in points (1/100 carat) by 2000. To reverse, multiply micrograms by 0.0005.

How to use this converter

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

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

  1. Write down the value in points (1/100 carat) (pt).
  2. Multiply that value by the factor 2000.
  3. The product is the equivalent value in micrograms (µg).
  4. To reverse, multiply the microgram value by 0.0005.

Worked examples

Example 1 — Convert 1 pt to µg:
1 × 2000 = 2000 µg

Example 2 — Convert 100 pt to µg:
100 × 2000 = 200000 µg

Real-world example — Mid-micron to nanometer

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

3 pt × 2000 = 6000 µg

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

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

1 pt × 2000 = 2000 µg

Real-world example — Infrared to visible-spectrum mapping

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

10 pt × 2000 = 20000 µg
