About Converting Carats per Cubic Centimeter to Grains per Teaspoon
Carat per Cubic Centimeter and Grain per Teaspoon both measure density — mass per unit volume — a property used to identify materials, check manufacturing quality, and predict whether something floats or sinks. As a fixed reference point, water has a density of exactly 1000 kg/m³ (1 g/cm³, 1 g/mL) at its temperature of maximum density, which is why many density figures in science and engineering are quoted relative to water. Both are mass per volume density units.
Formula
grains per teaspoon = carats per cubic centimeter × 15.2129768657
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 carat per cubic centimeter equals 200 base units, and 1 grain per teaspoon equals 13.1466708828 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct carat per cubic centimeter-to-grain per teaspoon factor of 15.2129768657.
Simple example
1 ct/cm3 × 15.21297687 = 15.21297687 gr/tsp
1 carat per cubic centimeter = 15.21297687 grains per teaspoon.
Real-world example
1,000 ct/cm3 × 15.21297687 = 15,212.97687 gr/tsp
1,000 carats per cubic centimeter = 15,212.97687 grains per teaspoon.

Frequently asked questions
How many grains per teaspoon are in 1 carat per cubic centimeter?
1 carat per cubic centimeter equals 15.21297687 grains per teaspoon, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert carat per cubic centimeter to grain per teaspoon?
Multiply the carat per cubic centimeter value by 15.21297687. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert grain per teaspoon back to carat per cubic centimeter?
Use the reverse factor: 1 grain per teaspoon equals 0.0657333544 carats per cubic centimeter. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a carat per cubic centimeter?
Carat per Cubic Centimeter (ct/cm3) is a unit of density.
What is a grain per teaspoon?
Grain per Teaspoon (gr/tsp) is a unit of density.
Is the carat per cubic centimeter to grain per teaspoon conversion exact?
Yes. Both carat per cubic centimeter and grain per teaspoon are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 15.21297687 used above is exact to as many digits as you choose to display.
What's the difference between density and mass concentration?
Density is the mass of a pure substance or material per unit volume. Mass concentration is the mass of one component — like a dissolved solute — within a mixture's total volume. The two use the same kind of units but describe different physical situations.
