Formula and Step-by-Step

(ounces × 28.35g/oz) ÷ 252g/cup × 8 = fluid ounces
  1. Start with 17.63 ounces of evaporated milk
  2. Convert ounces to grams: 17.63 × 28.35 = 499.80g
  3. 1 cup of evaporated milk = 252g
  4. 499.80g ÷ 252g/cup = 1.98 cups × 8 = 15.87 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?

A US fluid ounce (fl oz) is a unit of volume equal to 29.574 milliliters or 1/8 of a cup. It measures liquid volume and should not be confused with the ounce (oz), which measures weight.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 15.87 fl oz, based on evaporated milk having a density of 252g 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 252 (grams per cup), then multiply by 8 to get fluid ounces. For 17.63 ounces: 17.63 × 28.3495 = 499.80g, then 499.80 ÷ 252 = 1.98 cups × 8 = 15.87 fl oz.
For the most accurate results, weigh evaporated milk 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 evaporated 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: 15.87 fl oz ÷ 8 = 1.98334 cups, then 1.98334 × 252g/cup = 499.80g, then 499.80g ÷ 28.3495 = 17.63 ounces. Or use the Fluid Ounces to Ounces converter.
