Formula and Step-by-Step

(pounds × 453.59g/lb) ÷ 340g/cup ÷ 4.22675 = liters
  1. Start with 17.99 pounds of honey
  2. Convert pounds to grams: 17.99 × 453.59 = 8,160.13g
  3. 1 cup of honey = 340g
  4. 8,160.13g ÷ 340g/cup = 24.00 cups ÷ 4.22675 = 5.68 liters

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

Measuring Tip

Sticky liquids like honey are easier to measure if you lightly oil the measuring cup first. The liquid will slide out cleanly.

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?

A liter (L) is a metric unit of volume equal to 1,000 milliliters or approximately 4.227 US cups. It is the standard large-volume measurement for cooking worldwide outside the US.

Frequently Asked Questions

About 5.68 L, based on honey having a density of 340g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
First convert pounds to grams (1 pound = 453.592g), then divide by 340 (grams per cup), then divide by 4.22675 to get liters. For 17.99 pounds: 17.99 × 453.592 = 8,160.13g, then 8,160.13 ÷ 340 = 24.00 cups ÷ 4.22675 = 5.68 L.
Weighing honey on a kitchen scale is strongly recommended. It is thick and sticky, so it clings to measuring vessels. If you must measure by volume, lightly oil the measuring cup first so it slides out cleanly.
Temperature has a minimal effect on most cooking liquids. The density of honey changes slightly with temperature, but the difference is usually less than 1-2% between refrigerator and room temperature. This conversion assumes room temperature.
Reverse the conversion: 5.68 L × 4.22675 = 24.0004 cups, then 24.0004 × 340g/cup = 8,160.13g, then 8,160.13g ÷ 453.592 = 17.99 pounds. Or use the Liters to Pounds converter.
