How Much Is 1 Pint of Tomato Sauce in Ounces?
1 pint of tomato sauce weighs 17.28 oz. This is based on tomato sauce having a density of 245g 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 1 pint.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 1 pint of tomato sauce
- 1 pint of tomato sauce = 490g
- 1 × 490 = 490g
- Convert grams to ounces: 490 ÷ 28.3495 = 17.28 oz
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 a Pint?
The pint is one of the most confusing measurements across countries because the difference between US and UK versions is so large. Always check which country a recipe comes from before measuring in pints.
What is an Ounce?
Ounces are commonly used in US recipes for cheese, meat, chocolate, and other ingredients sold by weight. Many kitchen scales offer both gram and ounce readings.
