Formula and Step-by-Step

pints × 436g/pt ÷ 28.3495g/oz = ounces

Start with 0.4 pints of coconut oil
1 pint of coconut oil = 436g
0.4 × 436 = 174.4g
Convert grams to ounces: 174.4 ÷ 28.3495 = 6.15 oz

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

Measuring Tip

Oils are lighter than water, so the same volume weighs less. Pour slowly into the measuring cup for accuracy, and wipe any drips from the outside before reading.
