First convert ounces to grams (1 ounce = 28.3495g), then divide by 144 (grams per cup). For 160 ounces: 160 × 28.3495 = 4,535.92g, then 4,535.92 ÷ 144 = 31.50 cups.
For the most accurate results, weigh kosher salt (diamond crystal) on a kitchen scale. If measuring by volume, spoon the ingredient into the measuring cup and level it off with a straight edge rather than scooping directly.
Weight-per-cup values vary because of differences in how the ingredient is measured (spooned vs scooped), grind size, moisture content, and settling during storage. Our values use standardized measurement methods from established culinary references.
Reverse the conversion: 31.50 cups × 144g/cup = 4,535.92g, then 4,535.92g ÷ 28.3495 = 160 ounces. Or use the Cups to Ounces converter.
