About Converting Long tons per Cubic foot to Carats per Liter
Long ton per Cubic foot and Carat 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
carats per liter = long tons per cubic foot × 179406.789788
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 long ton per cubic foot equals 35881.3579577 base units, and 1 carat per liter equals 0.2 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct long ton per cubic foot-to-carat per liter factor of 179406.789788.
Simple example
1 long ton/ft3 × 179406.7898 = 179,406.7898 ct/L
1 long ton per cubic foot = 179,406.7898 carats per liter.
Real-world example
1,000 long ton/ft3 × 179406.7898 = 179,406,789.8 ct/L
1,000 long tons per cubic foot = 179,406,789.8 carats per liter.

How do I convert carat per liter back to long ton per cubic foot?
Use the reverse factor: 1 carat per liter equals 0.0000055739 long tons per cubic foot. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a long ton per cubic foot?
Long ton per Cubic foot (long ton/ft3) is a unit of density.
What is a carat per liter?
Carat per Liter (ct/L) is a unit of density.
Is the long ton per cubic foot to carat per liter conversion exact?
Yes. Both long ton per cubic foot and carat per liter are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 179406.7898 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.
