Carat To Dram (Ct To Dr) Converter

The Carat To Dram (Ct To Dr) Converter is a handy tool designed to help you easily convert measurements between carats and drams. These units are commonly used in jewelry, gemstones, and precious metals to measure weight.

A carat (Ct) is a unit of mass used primarily for gemstones and pearls. One carat is exactly equal to 200 milligrams, or 0.2 grams. It is a standard measurement in the jewelry industry to indicate the weight of a gemstone.

A dram (Dr) is an older unit of weight that is still used in some contexts, especially in the United States. One dram is equal to 1/16 of an ounce or approximately 3.6967 grams.

To convert from carats to drams, you can use the following formula:
Drams = Carats × 0.018288
This is derived from the fact that 1 carat equals 0.2 grams, and 1 dram equals approximately 3.6967 grams, so:

1 carat = 0.2 grams
1 dram ? 3.6967 grams
Therefore, 1 carat ? 0.2 / 3.6967 ? 0.0541 drams.

Conversely, to convert from drams to carats, use the formula:
Carats = Drams × 54.1
This allows you to quickly switch between the two units depending on your needs.
