Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 4.47 pounds of coconut oil
- Convert pounds to grams: 4.47 × 453.59 = 2,027.56g
- 1 cup of coconut oil = 218g
- 2,027.56g ÷ 218g/cup = 9.30 cups ÷ 4.22675 = 2.20 liters
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 Pound?
The abbreviation "lb" comes from the Latin word "libra." One pound equals exactly 453.59237 grams. For rough mental math, 1 pound is slightly less than half a kilogram.
What is a Liter?
Liters are the same everywhere, unlike cups, pints, and gallons which vary between US and imperial systems. This consistency is one reason professional kitchens worldwide prefer metric measurements.
