The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.

Measuring Tip

Liquid densities vary: oils weigh less per cup than water, while syrups and honey weigh more. This is why ingredient-specific conversions matter even for liquids.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 53.97 oz, based on condensed milk having a density of 306g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
Multiply the number of fluid ounces by 38.25 (grams per fluid ounce for condensed milk), then divide by 28.3495 to convert grams to ounces. For 40 fluid ounces: 40 × 38.25 = 1,530g, then 1,530 ÷ 28.3495 = 53.97 oz.
Weighing condensed milk on a kitchen scale is strongly recommended. It is thick and sticky, so it clings to measuring vessels. If you must measure by volume, lightly oil the measuring cup first so it slides out cleanly.
Temperature has a minimal effect on most cooking liquids. The density of condensed milk changes slightly with temperature, but the difference is usually less than 1-2% between refrigerator and room temperature. This conversion assumes room temperature.
Reverse the conversion: 53.97 oz × 28.3495 = 1,530g, then 1,530g ÷ 38.25 = 40 fluid ounces. Or use the Ounces to Fluid Ounces converter.
