Worked Example
Example: 5 Carat = 5 × 2.2046e-7 = 1.1023e-6 US Ton
To convert Carat to US Ton, multiply the Carat value by 2.2046e-7. This factor is derived from the ratio between the two units.
The carat is a unit of mass used for measuring gemstones and pearls. One carat equals 200 milligrams (0.2 grams). It should not be confused with 'karat,' which measures the purity of gold.
History
The word 'carat' derives from the Greek 'keration,' referring to carob seeds that were historically used as counterweights on balance scales due to their uniform weight. The modern metric carat of 200 mg was adopted internationally in 1907.
The US ton, also known as the short ton, is a unit of mass equal to 2,000 pounds or approximately 907.18 kilograms. It is commonly used in the United States for measuring large quantities of materials such as coal, grain, and construction materials.
History
The short ton originated in the United States and is derived from the hundredweight of 100 pounds, with 20 hundredweight making one ton. It differs from the imperial (long) ton of 2,240 pounds and the metric ton of 1,000 kilograms.
