Formula and Step-by-Step

(ounces × 28.35g/oz) ÷ 252g/cup × 8 = fluid ounces
  1. Start with 17.78 ounces of evaporated milk
  2. Convert ounces to grams: 17.78 × 28.35 = 504.05g
  3. 1 cup of evaporated milk = 252g
  4. 504.05g ÷ 252g/cup = 2.00 cups × 8 = 16.00 fluid ounces

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

Measuring Tip

For liquids, place your measuring cup on a flat surface and read at eye level. The bottom of the meniscus (the curve at the surface) should align with the measurement line.

Understanding the Units

What is an Ounce?

Weight ounces and fluid ounces are different measurements. A fluid ounce measures volume (29.574 ml), while an ounce measures weight (28.35g). They only align for water, where 1 fl oz weighs approximately 1 oz.

What is a Fluid Ounce?

Fluid ounces measure how much space a liquid takes up, while ounces (oz) measure weight. 1 fluid ounce of water weighs close to 1 oz, but for other liquids like honey or oil, the weight per fluid ounce is different.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 16.00 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 17.78 ounces: 17.78 × 28.3495 = 504.05g, then 504.05 ÷ 252 = 2.00 cups × 8 = 16.00 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: 16.00 fl oz ÷ 8 = 2.00022 cups, then 2.00022 × 252g/cup = 504.05g, then 504.05g ÷ 28.3495 = 17.78 ounces. Or use the Fluid Ounces to Ounces converter.
