Convert carat to microgram
Please provide values below to convert carat [car, ct] to microgram [µg], or Convert microgram to carat.
1 car, ct = 200000 µg. To convert carat to microgram, multiply the value by 200000; to go the other way, divide by it (1 µg = 5e-06 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 = 200000 µg
- 1 µg = 5e-06 car, ct
- 10 car, ct = 2000000 µg
- 100 car, ct = 20000000 µg
How to Convert Carat to Microgram
1 car, ct = 200000 µg
Example: convert 15 car, ct to µg:
15 car, ct = 15 × 200000 µg = 3000000 µg

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.
Microgram
A microgram (µg) is a unit of mass equal to one millionth of a gram (10^-6 grams).
History/Origin
The microgram was introduced as part of the metric system to measure very small quantities, particularly in science and medicine, and has been widely used since the 20th century.
Current Use
Micrograms are commonly used today in fields such as pharmacology, nutrition, and chemistry to measure small amounts of substances accurately.
