About Converting Carats per Gallon to Carats per Liter
Carat per Gallon and Carat 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
carats per liter = carats per gallon × 0.264172052358
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 carat per gallon equals 0.0528344104716 base units, and 1 carat per liter equals 0.2 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct carat per gallon-to-carat per liter factor of 0.264172052358.
Simple example
1 ct/gal × 0.2641720524 = 0.2641720524 ct/L
1 carat per gallon = 0.2641720524 carats per liter.
Real-world example
1,000 ct/gal × 0.2641720524 = 264.1720524 ct/L
1,000 carats per gallon = 264.1720524 carats per liter.

How do I convert carat per liter back to carat per gallon?
Use the reverse factor: 1 carat per liter equals 3.785411784 carats per gallon. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a carat per gallon?
Carat per Gallon (ct/gal) is a unit of density.
What is a carat per liter?
Carat per Liter (ct/L) is a unit of density.
Is the carat per gallon to carat per liter conversion exact?
Yes. Both carat per gallon and carat per liter are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 0.2641720524 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.
