About Converting Carats per Teaspoon to Grains per Liter
Carat per Teaspoon and Grain per Liter 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 liter = carats per teaspoon × 626.196138827
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 liter equals 0.06479891 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct carat per teaspoon-to-grain per liter factor of 626.196138827.
Simple example
1 ct/tsp × 626.1961388 = 626.1961388 gr/L
1 carat per teaspoon = 626.1961388 grains per liter.
Real-world example
1,000 ct/tsp × 626.1961388 = 626,196.1388 gr/L
1,000 carats per teaspoon = 626,196.1388 grains per liter.

Multiply the carat per teaspoon value by 626.1961388. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert grain per liter back to carat per teaspoon?
Use the reverse factor: 1 grain per liter equals 0.0015969437 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 liter?
Grain per Liter (gr/L) is a unit of density.
Is the carat per teaspoon to grain per liter conversion exact?
Yes. Both carat per teaspoon and grain per liter are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 626.1961388 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.
