Formula and Step-by-Step

(ounces × 28.35g/oz) ÷ 218g/cup × 8 = fluid ounces
  1. Start with 16.37 ounces of coconut oil
  2. Convert ounces to grams: 16.37 × 28.35 = 464.08g
  3. 1 cup of coconut oil = 218g
  4. 464.08g ÷ 218g/cup = 2.13 cups × 8 = 17.03 fluid ounces

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.

Understanding the Units

What is an Ounce?

An ounce (oz) is a US customary unit of weight equal to 28.3495 grams or 1/16 of a pound. In cooking, "ounces" refers to weight (avoirdupois ounces), not fluid ounces which measure volume.

What is a Fluid Ounce?

The US fluid ounce (29.574 ml) and the UK fluid ounce (28.413 ml) are different sizes. The UK version is about 4% smaller. This means a UK recipe calling for 8 fl oz gives you 227 ml, while 8 US fl oz gives you 237 ml. The difference is small per ounce but adds up in larger quantities.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 17.03 fl oz, based on coconut oil having a density of 218g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
First convert ounces to grams (1 ounce = 28.3495g), then divide by 218 (grams per cup), then multiply by 8 to get fluid ounces. For 16.37 ounces: 16.37 × 28.3495 = 464.08g, then 464.08 ÷ 218 = 2.13 cups × 8 = 17.03 fl oz.
For the most accurate results, weigh coconut oil on a kitchen scale. If measuring by volume, use a liquid measuring cup on a flat surface and read the level at eye height.
Temperature has a minimal effect on most cooking liquids. The density of coconut oil 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: 17.03 fl oz ÷ 8 = 2.12882 cups, then 2.12882 × 218g/cup = 464.08g, then 464.08g ÷ 28.3495 = 16.37 ounces. Or use the Fluid Ounces to Ounces converter.
