Discover the ease of converting atomic mass units (Daltons) to carats for gem weight measurement, with our Dalton to Carat Converter. Get accurate conversions in an instant!
A Dalton, also known as an atomic mass unit (amu), is a unit of mass used to express atomic and molecular weights. It is defined as one-twelfth of the mass of an unbound neutral atom of carbon-12 in its nuclear and electronic ground state and at rest. The Dalton is a standard unit of measurement in the field of chemistry and physics and is equivalent to 1.66053906660(50) x 10^-27 kilograms.
Definition of CaratA carat is a unit of mass used for measuring gemstones and pearls. Currently, a carat is defined as exactly 200 milligrams (0.2 grams). The carat is universally recognized and used internationally by jewelers and gemologists. It allows for precise and standardized communication regarding the weight of diamonds and other precious gems, ensuring consistency across the global jewelry industry.
| Dalton (Da) | Carat (ct) |
|---|---|
| 100 Da | 2.0e-23 ct |
| 200 Da | 4.0e-23 ct |
| 300 Da | 6.0e-23 ct |
| 400 Da | 8.0e-23 ct |
| 500 Da | 1.0e-22 ct |
| 600 Da | 1.2e-22 ct |
| 700 Da | 1.4e-22 ct |
| 800 Da | 1.6e-22 ct |
| 900 Da | 1.8e-22 ct |
| 1000 Da | 2.0e-22 ct |
1 Da = 2.0e-23 ct
100 Da = 2.0e-21 ct
Example 1:
convert 500 Da to ct:
500 Da = 500 × 2.0e-23 ct = 1.0e-20 ct
Example 2:
convert 750 Da to ct:
750 Da = 750 × 2.0e-23 ct = 1.5e-20 ct
The Dalton to Carat Converter is a tool that bridges the gap between the atomic scale and the scale of gemstones. Historically, the need to convert between these units arose as scientists and jewelers sought a common language to describe the weight of atoms and gemstones, respectively. This converter is the result of the fusion of atomic physics and gemology, providing an innovative and practical solution for cross-disciplinary calculations.
Explore the practical uses of the Dalton to Carat Converter in various industries, from scientific research to the jewelry market.
Example 1:
To convert 1200 Da to ct:
1200 Da = 1200 × 2.0e-23 ct = 2.4e-20 ct
Example 2:
To convert 3000 Da to ct:
3000 Da = 3000 × 2.0e-23 ct = 6.0e-20 ct
