In weighing diamonds, pearls, and other jewels, the unit commonly
employed is the _carat_, which is equal to 4 carat grains, or 3.168 Troy
grains.
The term _carat_ is also used to express the fineness of gold, and means
1/24 part. Thus, gold that is 18 carats fine is 18/24 gold, and 6/24
alloy.
The _standard unit_ of weight is the _Troy pound_. It is equal to the
weight of 22.7944 cubic inches of distilled water at its maximum
density, the barometer being at 30 inches. It is identical with the Troy
pound of Great Britain.
