How to Convert Metric Tons to Carats
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
