About Converting Carats per Milliliter to Grains per Teaspoon
Carat per Milliliter and Grain per Teaspoon 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
grains per teaspoon = carats per milliliter × 15.2129768657
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 carat per milliliter equals 200 base units, and 1 grain per teaspoon equals 13.1466708828 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct carat per milliliter-to-grain per teaspoon factor of 15.2129768657.
Simple example
1 ct/mL × 15.21297687 = 15.21297687 gr/tsp
1 carat per milliliter = 15.21297687 grains per teaspoon.
Real-world example
1,000 ct/mL × 15.21297687 = 15,212.97687 gr/tsp
1,000 carats per milliliter = 15,212.97687 grains per teaspoon.

Frequently asked questions
How many grains per teaspoon are in 1 carat per milliliter?
1 carat per milliliter equals 15.21297687 grains per teaspoon, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert carat per milliliter to grain per teaspoon?
Multiply the carat per milliliter value by 15.21297687. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert grain per teaspoon back to carat per milliliter?
Use the reverse factor: 1 grain per teaspoon equals 0.0657333544 carats per milliliter. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a carat per milliliter?
Carat per Milliliter (ct/mL) is a unit of density.
What is a grain per teaspoon?
Grain per Teaspoon (gr/tsp) is a unit of density.
Is the carat per milliliter to grain per teaspoon conversion exact?
Yes. Both carat per milliliter and grain per teaspoon are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 15.21297687 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.
