| Carat (ct) | Ton-metric (t) |
|---|---|
| 1 ct | 0.0000002 t |
| 5 ct | 0.000001 t |
| 10 ct | 0.000002 t |
| 50 ct | 0.00001 t |
| 100 ct | 0.00002 t |
| 500 ct | 0.0001 t |
| 1000 ct | 0.0002 t |
| 5000 ct | 0.001 t |
| 10000 ct | 0.002 t |
| 50000 ct | 0.01 t |
Example 1:
Convert 100 ct to t:
100 ct = 100 × 0.000002 t = 0.0002 t
Example 2:
Convert 2500 ct to t:
2500 ct = 2500 × 0.000002 t = 0.005 t
