To convert a measurement in metric tons to a measurement in carats, multiply the weight by the following conversion ratio: 5,000,000 carats/metric ton.
Since one metric ton is equal to 5,000,000 carats, you can use this simple formula to convert:
carats = metric tons × 5,000,000
The weight in carats is equal to the weight in metric tons multiplied by 5,000,000.
How Many Carats Are in a Metric Ton?
There are 5,000,000 carats in a metric ton, which is why we use this value in the formula above.
1 t = 5,000,000 ct
Metric tons and carats are both units used to measure weight. Keep reading to learn more about each unit of measure.
What Is a Metric Ton (Tonne)?
One tonne is equal to 1,000 kilograms or 2,204.6 pounds, and is used throughout the world as a unit of mass/weight.[1] One tonne is also equal to 1 megagram. The metric ton should not be confused with short tons, used primarily in the US, or long tons, used primarily in the UK.
The metric ton is an SI accepted unit for weight for use with the metric system. A metric ton is sometimes also referred to as a tonne. Metric tons can be abbreviated as t, and are also sometimes abbreviated as T, Te, or MT. For example, 1 metric ton can be written as 1 t, 1 T, 1 Te, or 1 MT.
In the US the unit is referred to as the metric ton, while the rest of the world refers to it as the tonne. Most often it's still pronounced as tun, but it is sometimes pronounced tunny.
