Worked Example: Carats ↔ Grams & Troy Ounces Worked Example
Convert metric carats into points, grams, troy grains, troy ounces, and round diamond mm.
- Enter the input measurement, system configuration, or astronomical parameter.
- Apply the standard conversion or analytical equation: Grams = Carats × 0.200; Points = Carats × 100; TroyGrains = Carats × 3.08647; RoundDiamond_mm ≈ 6.45 × Carats^(1/3).
- Inspect the primary metric, secondary equivalents, and 3 real-time SVG graphs.
Result: Computes Carats ↔ Grams & Troy Ounces via Grams = Carats × 0.200; Points = Carats × 100; TroyGrains = Carats × 3.08647; RoundDiamond_mm ≈ 6.45 × Carats^(1/3).

Gemstone & Precious Metal Weight Converter (Carats, Points, Grams, Troy Grains & Troy Ounces): inputs, method, and how to read the result
Convert metric carats into points, grams, troy grains, troy ounces, and round diamond mm.
Choose inputs for the case you are checking
The defaults are illustrative. Replace them with values for your case and keep the units shown beside each field.
- Gemstone Weight Carats: Gemstone weight in metric carats (1.00 ct = 0.200 g = 100 points).
What the calculation includes
With the default values shown, Weight in Grams (1 ct = 0.200 g) is 0.3 g. The calculation follows Carats ↔ Grams & Troy Ounces Formula; the formula and variable definitions above show how the inputs combine.
One-input check: With the other defaults held constant, changing Gemstone Weight Carats from 1.5 ct to 1.65 ct changes Weight in Grams (1 ct = 0.200 g) from 0.3 g to 0.33 g. This is a comparison inside the calculator's stated model, not a prediction.
Where to use caution
- Uses official NIST Special Publication 811, IEEE/RFC systems engineering, APA psychometric, and USNO astronomical formulas.
- Empirical metallurgy and calendar conversions represent standard reference-condition approximations.
Scope: Global NIST, IEEE, APA & Astronomical Standard Check the assumptions and limitations against your situation before relying on the estimate.
