About Converting Carats per Cubic Centimeter to Short tons per Cubic foot
Carat per Cubic Centimeter and Short ton per Cubic foot 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
short tons per cubic foot = carats per cubic centimeter × 0.00624279605761
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 short ton per cubic foot equals 32036.9267479 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct carat per cubic centimeter-to-short ton per cubic foot factor of 0.00624279605761.
Simple example
1 ct/cm3 × 0.006242796058 = 0.0062427961 ton/ft3
1 carat per cubic centimeter = 0.0062427961 short tons per cubic foot.
Real-world example
1,000 ct/cm3 × 0.006242796058 = 6.242796058 ton/ft3
1,000 carats per cubic centimeter = 6.242796058 short tons per cubic foot.

Multiply the carat per cubic centimeter value by 0.006242796058. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert short ton per cubic foot back to carat per cubic centimeter?
Use the reverse factor: 1 short ton per cubic foot equals 160.1846337 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 short ton per cubic foot?
Short ton per Cubic foot (ton/ft3) is a unit of density.
Is the carat per cubic centimeter to short ton per cubic foot conversion exact?
Yes. Both carat per cubic centimeter and short ton per cubic foot are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 0.006242796058 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.
