Carat To Decagram (Ct To Dag) Converter

The Carat To Decagram (Ct To Dag) Converter is a simple tool designed to help you easily convert weights measured in carats to decagrams. This is useful for jewelers, gemologists, or anyone working with precious stones and metals who need to switch between these units quickly and accurately.

A carat (Ct) is a unit of mass commonly used to measure gemstones and pearls. One carat is exactly equal to 200 milligrams (mg), or 0.2 grams (g). This means that 1 carat = 0.2 grams.

A decagram (Dag) is a metric unit of mass equal to 10 grams. It is often used for larger quantities of precious metals or gemstones. One decagram equals 10 grams, so 1 Dag = 10 g.

To convert from carats to decagrams, you can use the following formula:
Decagrams (Dag) = Carats (Ct) ÷ 50

This formula works because 1 carat equals 0.2 grams, and 1 decagram equals 10 grams. So, dividing the weight in carats by 50 gives you the equivalent weight in decagrams. For example, if you have 100 carats, the conversion would be 100 ÷ 50 = 2 decagrams.
