Discover the simplicity of converting carats to kilopounds (ct to kip) with our efficient online tool, designed by Newtum to cater to your precise conversion needs.
A carat, symbolized as 'ct', is a unit of mass used for measuring gemstones and pearls. One carat is equivalent to 200 milligrams or 0.2 grams. Historically derived from the carob seeds used as weights on balance scales, the carat is now a standardized unit recognized globally in the jewelry industry.
Definition of KilopoundA kilopound, abbreviated as 'kip', is a unit of weight predominantly used in the field of engineering and construction in the United States. One kilopound is equal to one thousand pounds or approximately 453.592 kilograms. It is commonly applied to express large forces or loads, such as building weight or structural stresses.
| Carat (ct) | Kilopound (kip) |
|---|---|
| 0.2 ct | 0.00000044 kip |
| 1 ct | 0.0000022 kip |
| 5 ct | 0.000011 kip |
| 10 ct | 0.000022 kip |
| 20 ct | 0.000044 kip |
| 50 ct | 0.00011 kip |
| 100 ct | 0.00022 kip |
| 200 ct | 0.00044 kip |
| 500 ct | 0.0011 kip |
| 1000 ct | 0.0022 kip |
1 ct = 0.0000022 kip
1 kip = 453592.37 ct
Example 1:
Convert 50 ct to kip:
50 ct = 50 × 0.0000022 kip = 0.00011 kip
Example 2:
Convert 200 ct to kip:
200 ct = 200 × 0.0000022 kip = 0.00044 kip
