Formula and Step-by-Step

pints × 510g/pt ÷ 453.592g/lb = pounds
  1. Start with 32 pints of soy sauce
  2. 1 pint of soy sauce = 510g
  3. 32 × 510 = 16,320g
  4. Convert grams to pounds: 16,320 ÷ 453.592 = 35.98 lb

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.
