How Much Is 2 Pints of Coconut Oil in Ounces?
2 pints of coconut oil weighs 30.76 oz. This is based on coconut oil having a density of 218g per cup. Because pints measure volume and ounces measure weight, the result depends on the ingredient, and a different ingredient would give a different result for the same 2 pints.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 2 pints of coconut oil
- 1 pint of coconut oil = 436g
- 2 × 436 = 872g
- Convert grams to ounces: 872 ÷ 28.3495 = 30.76 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.

Understanding the Units
What is a Pint?
US and UK pints are very different sizes. A US pint is 473 ml while a UK (imperial) pint is 568 ml, making the UK pint about 20% larger. A "pint of milk" in a British recipe is significantly more than in an American recipe.
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.
