About Converting Carat per Cubic inches to Grams per Liter
Carat per Cubic inch and Gram per Liter 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
grams per liter = carat per cubic inches × 12.2047488189
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 carat per cubic inch equals 12.2047488189 base units, and 1 gram per liter equals 1 base unit, so dividing one by the other gives the direct carat per cubic inch-to-gram per liter factor of 12.2047488189.
Simple example
1 ct/in3 × 12.20474882 = 12.20474882 g/L
1 carat per cubic inch = 12.20474882 grams per liter.
Real-world example
1,000 ct/in3 × 12.20474882 = 12,204.74882 g/L
1,000 carat per cubic inches = 12,204.74882 grams per liter.

Frequently asked questions
How many grams per liter are in 1 carat per cubic inch?
1 carat per cubic inch equals 12.20474882 grams per liter, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert carat per cubic inch to gram per liter?
Multiply the carat per cubic inch value by 12.20474882. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert gram per liter back to carat per cubic inch?
Use the reverse factor: 1 gram per liter equals 0.08193532 carat per cubic inches. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a carat per cubic inch?
Carat per Cubic inch (ct/in3) is a unit of density.
What is a gram per liter?
Gram per Liter (g/L) measures mass concentration. One gram of a substance dissolved or dispersed per liter of total solution or mixture volume. It is classified as a metric derived concentration unit.
Is the carat per cubic inch to gram per liter conversion exact?
Yes. Both carat per cubic inch and gram per liter are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 12.20474882 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.
