What is a carat used for?

A carat is a mass unit mainly used for measuring gemstones and pearls, defined exactly as 200 milligrams.

Why convert carats to quadrans?

Converting carats to quadrans helps in archaeological, numismatic, and historical research by relating modern gem weights to ancient Roman coin masses.

Can the quadrans mass vary?

Yes, because the quadrans corresponds to a physical ancient coin, its mass can differ due to corrosion or minting variations.
