Carat To Pound (Ct To Lb) Converter

The Carat To Pound (Ct To Lb) Converter is a handy tool designed to help you easily convert weights measured in carats to pounds. This is especially useful in jewelry, gemstone, and precious metal industries where different units are used to specify weight.

A carat (Ct) is a unit of mass commonly used to measure gemstones and pearls. One carat is exactly equal to 0.2 grams. On the other hand, a pound (Lb) is a unit of weight used primarily in the United States and other countries that follow the imperial system. One pound is equal to 16 ounces, or approximately 453.592 grams.

To convert from carats to pounds, you first need to convert carats to grams, then grams to pounds. The basic formula is:

Weight in pounds = (Carats × 0.2 grams) ÷ 453.592 grams per pound

By using this converter, you can quickly and accurately determine how many pounds a given number of carats represents, making it easier to understand and compare weights across different measurement systems.
