About the Units
The short ton is a large unit of weight equal to 2,000 pounds, primarily used in the US for heavy industrial measurements. The carat is a tiny unit of mass equal to 200 milligrams (0.2 grams), used almost exclusively for measuring gemstones like diamonds and pearls. Because of this vast difference in scale, even a single short ton equals millions of carats.
