About Converting Carats per Teaspoon to Grains per Cubic Centimeter
Carat per Teaspoon and Grain per Cubic Centimeter 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 cubic centimeter = carats per teaspoon × 0.626196138827
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 grain per cubic centimeter equals 64.79891 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct carat per teaspoon-to-grain per cubic centimeter factor of 0.626196138827.
Simple example
1 ct/tsp × 0.6261961388 = 0.6261961388 gr/cm3
1 carat per teaspoon = 0.6261961388 grains per cubic centimeter.
Real-world example
1,000 ct/tsp × 0.6261961388 = 626.1961388 gr/cm3
1,000 carats per teaspoon = 626.1961388 grains per cubic centimeter.

Frequently asked questions
How many grains per cubic centimeter are in 1 carat per teaspoon?
1 carat per teaspoon equals 0.6261961388 grains per cubic centimeter, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert carat per teaspoon to grain per cubic centimeter?
Multiply the carat per teaspoon value by 0.6261961388. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert grain per cubic centimeter back to carat per teaspoon?
Use the reverse factor: 1 grain per cubic centimeter equals 1.596943734 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 grain per cubic centimeter?
Grain per Cubic Centimeter (gr/cm3) is a unit of density.
Is the carat per teaspoon to grain per cubic centimeter conversion exact?
Yes. Both carat per teaspoon and grain per cubic centimeter are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 0.6261961388 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.
