Convert gamma to carat
Please provide values below to convert gamma [gamma] to carat [car, ct], or Convert carat to gamma.
1 gamma = 5e-06 car, ct. To convert gamma to carat, multiply the value by 5e-06; to go the other way, divide by it (1 car, ct = 200000 gamma). 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 gamma = 5e-06 car, ct
- 1 car, ct = 200000 gamma
- 10 gamma = 5e-05 car, ct
- 100 gamma = 0.0005 car, ct
How to Convert Gamma to Carat
1 gamma = 5e-06 car, ct
Example: convert 15 gamma to car, ct:
15 gamma = 15 × 5e-06 car, ct = 7.5e-05 car, ct

Gamma
Gamma is a unit of mass used in the context of the 'Weight and Mass' converter, typically representing a gram or a related measure.
History/Origin
The term 'gamma' originates from the Greek letter gamma, historically used in various scientific contexts to denote small quantities of mass or radiation. Its use as a unit of mass has been more common in older or specialized scientific literature.
Current Use
Today, 'gamma' is rarely used as a standard unit of mass; instead, grams are the standard. However, 'gamma' may still appear in specific scientific fields or historical references related to mass measurement.
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.
