Convert Tonnes to Carats
1 tonne is 5,000,000 ct. One tonne is exactly 5000000 carats.
One tonne is 5000000 carats. To convert tonnes to carats, multiply by 5000000; to go the other way, divide by 5000000 or multiply by 2.0000 × 10^-7. The factor is exact rather than rounded: it follows from NIST Handbook 44. One thousand kilograms, also called the metric ton — 2,204.6 pounds.

How do you convert tonnes to carats? The converter and the working
- 1.Take the measurement in tonnes.
- 2.Multiply by 5000000 — that is how many carats fit in one tonne.
- 3.To go back the other way, divide by 5000000, or multiply by 2.0000 × 10^-7.
Worked example: 25 tonnes to carats
- Formula
- t × 5000000 = ct
- Arithmetic
- 25 × 5000000 = 125,000,000 ct
- Answer
- 25 t = 125,000,000 ct
The factor is exact, so this figure is exact too — only the display is rounded.

What is a tonne?
One thousand kilograms, also called the metric ton — 2,204.6 pounds.
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 tonne?
One tonne is 5000000 carats, exactly. Going the other way, one carat is 2.0000 × 10^-7 tonnes. 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.
