Convert carat to exagram
Please provide values below to convert carat [car, ct] to exagram [Eg], or Convert exagram to carat.
1 car, ct = 2.0000e-19 Eg. To convert carat to exagram, multiply the value by 2.0000e-19; to go the other way, divide by it (1 Eg = 5.0000e+18 car, ct). Both units measure weight and mass and appear in everyday as well as technical calculations, so switching between them quickly is often useful.
Quick Reference
- 1 car, ct = 2.0000e-19 Eg
- 1 Eg = 5.0000e+18 car, ct
- 10 car, ct = 2.0000e-18 Eg
- 100 car, ct = 2.0000e-17 Eg

Carat
A carat is a unit of mass used to measure gemstones and pearls, equal to 200 milligrams.
History/Origin
The carat originated from the carob seed, which was historically used as a counterweight in balance scales due to its uniform weight. The term has been used since the 16th century to measure precious stones.
Current Use
Today, the carat is primarily used in the jewelry industry to specify the weight of diamonds and other gemstones, with 1 carat equaling 0.2 grams.
Exagram
An exagram (Eg) is a unit of mass equal to 10^18 grams, used to measure extremely large quantities of mass.
History/Origin
The exagram is a relatively recent addition to the metric system, introduced to facilitate the measurement of very large masses in scientific and industrial contexts, aligning with the SI prefixes for large units.
Current Use
Exagrams are primarily used in scientific research, astronomy, and large-scale industrial applications to quantify massive amounts of material or celestial bodies.
