quilataje métrico Explanation: Metric caratage/karatage. This may be an OCR error. The suffix -age doesn't exist in Spanish, but -aje does. The spelling depends on whether it's gold or other metals (karatage) or diamonds or other gems (caratage) https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/caratage http://www.diamantisimo.com/374-quilataje-del-oro.html https://www.proz.com/kudoz/spanish-to-english/mining-mineral... |

metric carat Explanation: Hay algunas expresiones idiomáticas con la palabra ¨quilate¨como unidad de peso de piedras preciosas, de ahí ¨quilataje¨ o ¨kilataje¨. Un idiomático muy común: honradez de muchos quilates/outstanding honesty, para referirse en este caso a la honestidad o exactitud de una medición o del carácter de una persona. Depende en si del sentido que se le quiera dar. Simplemente como medida: metric carat. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carat_(mass) |
