Rounded for display only; calculations retain full precision.
Rounding and precision rules
- Convr calculates first and rounds the displayed result only once, at the final step.
- The default is a maximum of 6 decimal places; trailing zeros are removed.
- Very small values that would appear as zero, and values of 10¹² or more, use scientific notation.
- Display precision is not measurement uncertainty. For scientific, engineering, or regulated work, retain only the digits justified by the source measurement.
Calculation
Carat to Kilogram formula
kg = ct × 0.0002
Calculations retain full precision and the result is rounded only for display.
Worked example
For 10 ct, the result is 0.002 kg. Substitute 10 ct into the formula to obtain 0.002 kg.
A numerical value expressed in kilogram is usually smaller than the same measurement expressed in carat, because 1 ct equals 0.0002 kg.
