How Much Is 5.01 Ounces of Water in Milliliters?

5.01 ounces of water equals 142.03 ml. Water has a density of 236.59g per cup. A lighter ingredient like flour (125g/cup) would fill more volume at the same weight, which is why ingredient-specific conversions matter.

Formula and Step-by-Step

(ounces × 28.35g/oz) ÷ 236.59g/cup × 236.588 = milliliters
  1. Start with 5.01 ounces of water
  2. Convert ounces to grams: 5.01 × 28.35 = 142.03g
  3. 1 cup of water = 236.59g
  4. 142.03g ÷ 236.59g/cup = 0.60 cups × 236.588 = 142.03 milliliters

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 Milliliter?

Most kitchen measuring cups outside the US are marked in milliliters. A standard metric cup is 250 ml. When converting American recipes, 1 US cup = 236.588 ml.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 142.03 ml, based on water having a density of 236.59g 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 236.59 (grams per cup), then multiply by 236.588 to get milliliters. For 5.01 ounces: 5.01 × 28.3495 = 142.03g, then 142.03 ÷ 236.59 = 0.60 cups × 236.588 = 142.03 ml.
For the most accurate results, weigh water 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 water 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: 142.03 ml ÷ 236.588 = 0.600326 cups, then 0.600326 × 236.59g/cup = 142.03g, then 142.03g ÷ 28.3495 = 5.01 ounces. Or use the Milliliters to Ounces converter.
