Silver purity is typically measured in terms of fineness, not carats like gold. The most common levels of silver purity are sterling silver (92.5% pure silver) and fine silver (99.9% pure silver). Other levels of purity may exist based on specific manufacturing needs or regional standards.

Pure gold is 24 carats. 22 carats is 91.6% ie 22/24. Another method of describing gold is by the Fineness, which is given in parts per 1000, hence 916.6 for 22 carat. I assume 91.3% is a typo.
