About Converting Carats per Gallon to Long tons per Cup
Carat per Gallon and Long ton per Cup 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
long tons per cup = carats per gallon × 1.230258e-8
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 long ton per cup equals 4294579.15504 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct carat per gallon-to-long ton per cup factor of 1.230258e-8.
Simple example
1 ct/gal × 1.230258e-8 = 1.230258e-8 long ton/cup
1 carat per gallon = 1.230258e-8 long tons per cup.
Real-world example
1,000 ct/gal × 1.230258e-8 = 0.0000123026 long ton/cup
1,000 carats per gallon = 0.0000123026 long tons per cup.

What is a carat per gallon?
Carat per Gallon (ct/gal) is a unit of density.
What is a long ton per cup?
Long ton per Cup (long ton/cup) is a unit of density.
Is the carat per gallon to long ton per cup conversion exact?
