About Converting Carats per Teaspoon to Centigrams per Cup
Carat per Teaspoon and Centigram 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
centigrams per cup = carats per teaspoon × 960
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 carat per teaspoon equals 40.5768272422 base units, and 1 centigram per cup equals 0.0422675283773 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct carat per teaspoon-to-centigram per cup factor of 960.
Simple example
1 ct/tsp × 960 = 960 cg/cup
1 carat per teaspoon = 960 centigrams per cup.
Real-world example
1,000 ct/tsp × 960 = 960,000 cg/cup
1,000 carats per teaspoon = 960,000 centigrams per cup.

Frequently asked questions
How many centigrams per cup are in 1 carat per teaspoon?
1 carat per teaspoon equals 960 centigrams per cup, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert carat per teaspoon to centigram per cup?
Multiply the carat per teaspoon value by 960. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert centigram per cup back to carat per teaspoon?
Use the reverse factor: 1 centigram per cup equals 0.0010416667 carats per teaspoon. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a carat per teaspoon?
Carat per Teaspoon (ct/tsp) is a unit of density.
What is a centigram per cup?
Centigram per Cup (cg/cup) is a unit of density.
Is the carat per teaspoon to centigram per cup conversion exact?
Yes. Both carat per teaspoon and centigram per cup are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 960 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.
