The calculation of the weight

Calculate the weight (in carats) diamond cut "Radiant" isometric shape for diamond is produced by the basic formula:

M = L x B x H x k

M – mass cut diamond, L is the length of the faceted diamond, B – width of cut diamond, H – the height of the diamond, k – conversion factor metric measurements using the volume to mass, taking into account the geometry of the cut, and the density of diamond having a value 0,0080.
When the weight (in carats) diamond cut "Radiant" than from isometric form, the value of k can vary from to 0,0085 0,0100 depending on the ratio of length to width of the stone.

More precisely, a weight is determined taking into account the amendments on the thickness of the girdle, bulge cut, size caletta, the ratio of the proportions of the cut.

Cut "radiant" was developed in 1977 year, the company Crossbed Henry (Henry Grossbard) "Radiant Cut Diamond Company" (RCDC). In 2002, the company patented a brand ("Original Radiant Cut").
