Convert teragram to carat
Please provide values below to convert teragram [Tg] to carat [car, ct], or Convert carat to teragram.
1 Tg = 5.0000e+12 car, ct. To convert teragram to carat, multiply the value by 5.0000e+12; to go the other way, divide by it (1 car, ct = 2.0000e-13 Tg). 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 Tg = 5.0000e+12 car, ct
- 1 car, ct = 2.0000e-13 Tg
- 10 Tg = 5.0000e+13 car, ct
- 100 Tg = 5.0000e+14 car, ct
How to Convert Teragram to Carat
1 Tg = 5000000000000 car, ct
Example: convert 15 Tg to car, ct:
15 Tg = 15 × 5000000000000 car, ct = 75000000000000 car, ct

Teragram
A teragram (Tg) is a unit of mass equal to one trillion grams or 10^12 grams.
History/Origin
The teragram is part of the metric system and was introduced as a larger unit for measuring very large masses, especially in scientific contexts, to facilitate easier expression of large quantities.
Current Use
Teragrams are used primarily in scientific fields such as environmental science, geology, and astronomy to quantify large masses, like global emissions or mineral deposits.
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.
