Density reference table (g/ml at about 20 C)
Typical values at about 20 C / 68 F. Bulk densities for powders depend on packing, so treat them as reliable nominal values.

The formula
Grams to ml: ml = grams / density (in g/ml)
ml to grams: grams = ml x density (in g/ml)
Why this works: density is mass per unit volume, so dividing grams by g/ml cancels the mass unit and leaves milliliters. There is no fixed grams-to-ml factor without density: 100 grams of honey (dense) is only 70.4 ml while 100 grams of flour (airy) is 196.1 ml.
Worked example: 100 grams of flour to ml
How many ml is 100 grams of all-purpose flour?
- Mass = 100 g.
- Density of spooned all-purpose flour = 0.51 g/ml.
- Formula: ml = 100 / 0.51 = 196.08.
- Result: 100 grams of flour is about 196 ml.
Frequently asked questions
How do you convert grams to ml?
Divide the mass in grams by the density of the substance: ml = grams / density (in g/ml). Because grams measure mass and milliliters measure volume, you need the density. For water the density is 1.00 g/ml, so 100 grams of water equals exactly 100 ml.
How many ml is 100 grams?
It depends on the substance. 100 grams of water is 100 ml, 100 grams of milk is about 97 ml, 100 grams of cooking oil is about 109 ml, 100 grams of granulated sugar is about 118 ml, 100 grams of all-purpose flour is about 196 ml, 100 grams of honey is about 70 ml, and 100 grams of butter is about 104 ml.
What does grams in ml mean?
When people search for grams in ml, they want to know how many milliliters a given number of grams equals. There is no single answer because grams are mass and milliliters are volume. For example, 100 grams in ml is 100 ml for water but only about 70 ml for honey, because honey is denser.
How many ml is 100 grams of flour?
100 grams of all-purpose flour is about 196 ml. This uses a density of 0.51 g/ml, based on the King Arthur Baking weight chart (120 g per US cup, spooned and levelled). Flour varies a lot with packing, so for an exact result weigh your flour and enter its measured density.
How many ml is 100 grams of sugar?
100 grams of granulated sugar is about 118 ml, using a density of 0.85 g/ml (about 200 g per US cup).
How many ml is 100 grams of butter?
100 grams of butter is about 104 ml, using a density of 0.96 g/ml (about 227 g per US cup).
How do you convert ml to grams?
Multiply the volume in milliliters by the density: grams = ml x density (in g/ml). For example, 250 ml of honey (density 1.42 g/ml) weighs 250 x 1.42 = 355 grams.
Can you convert grams to ml without knowing the density?
Only for water, where 1 gram equals 1 ml. For anything else you need the density. Pick the ingredient from the list above, or measure your substance and type its density into the custom density box.

Densities are typical values; real products vary with temperature, brand, and packing. For lab or trade use, measure your sample's actual density.
