Assumptions and limitations

  • This uses liquid pints and US customary cups. The same unit names in an imperial recipe can refer to different volumes.
  • The worked example uses the starting units. A unit selection preserves the quantity, so check the unit before entering a new number.
  • Where offered, a metric cup is 250 mL, a US legal cup is 240 mL, and the metric spoon choices are 5 mL and 15 mL. Fluid ounces measure volume rather than mass.

Common questions

Which volume convention does this conversion use?

This uses liquid pints and US customary cups. The same unit names in an imperial recipe can refer to different volumes.

How should I use a rounded result?

Keep enough digits for the accuracy of the original measurement. Display rounding changes the visible precision, while the calculation retains additional digits.

References

The US customary cup uses one sixteenth of the exact US liquid gallon, replacing the rounded captured cup volume. The US fluid ounce uses one 128th of the exact US liquid gallon, replacing the rounded captured reciprocal factor. Bookify replaces the captured rounded US gallon with the exact 3.785411784-liter definition.
