About Converting Carats per Gallon to Slugs per Gallon
Carat per Gallon and Slug per Gallon 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
slugs per gallon = carats per gallon × 0.0000137043531714
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 slug per gallon equals 3855.30129084 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct carat per gallon-to-slug per gallon factor of 0.0000137043531714.
Simple example
1 ct/gal × 0.00001370435317 = 0.0000137044 slug/gal
1 carat per gallon = 0.0000137044 slugs per gallon.
Real-world example
1,000 ct/gal × 0.00001370435317 = 0.0137043532 slug/gal
1,000 carats per gallon = 0.0137043532 slugs per gallon.

What is a carat per gallon?
Carat per Gallon (ct/gal) is a unit of density.
What is a slug per gallon?
Slug per Gallon (slug/gal) is a unit of density.
Is the carat per gallon to slug per gallon conversion exact?
Yes. Both carat per gallon and slug per gallon are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 0.00001370435317 used above is exact to as many digits as you choose to display.
