Convert Long tons to Carats
1 long ton is 5,080,234.54 ct. One long ton is exactly 5080234.544 carats.
One long ton is 5.0802 × 10^+6 carats. To convert long tons to carats, multiply by 5.0802 × 10^+6; to go the other way, divide by 5.0802 × 10^+6 or multiply by 1.9684 × 10^-7. The relation is exact but the figure is not: it is a rounding of a number that does not terminate, and it follows from NIST Handbook 44. The British ton: 2,240 lb, against the US short ton’s 2,000 and the tonne’s 2,204.62.

Factors are entered by hand from NIST Handbook 44 rather than derived from a units library, so the ones that terminate are exact rather than rounded.
How do you convert long tons to carats? The converter and the working
- 1.Take the measurement in long tons.
- 2.Multiply by 5.0802 × 10^+6 — that is how many carats fit in one long ton.
- 3.To go back the other way, divide by 5.0802 × 10^+6, or multiply by 1.9684 × 10^-7.
Worked example: 25 long tons to carats
- Formula
- LT × 5.0802 × 10^+6 = ct
- Arithmetic
- 25 × 5.0802 × 10^+6 = 127,005,863.6 ct
- Answer
- 25 LT = 127,005,863.6 ct
The factor is rounded for display; the figure above is computed from the full value.

What is a long ton?
The British ton: 2,240 lb, against the US short ton’s 2,000 and the tonne’s 2,204.62. Three units, one word, and shipping documents use all three.
What is a carat?
Exactly 200 milligrams, fixed by international agreement in 1907 after centuries of local carats. It weighs a gemstone; the karat that grades gold is a different word for a different thing — purity in twenty-fourths.
How many carats are in a long ton?
One long ton is 5.0802 × 10^+6 carats. Going the other way, one carat is 1.9684 × 10^-7 long tons. Both figures come from the same defined relation rather than from a measurement, which is why they are the same today as they were in 1959.
