Grams to Milliliters Converter
Convert grams of an ingredient into milliliters by applying density.
Results
- Milliliters
- 100.00 mL
How to use this calculator
- Enter grams of your ingredient or material.
- Enter density in g/mL (use 1 for water, adjust for oils/syrups/chemicals).
- See volume in milliliters.
Inputs explained
- Grams
- Mass of the substance you want to convert.
- Density (g/mL)
- Material density; water is 1 g/mL, oils ~0.92 g/mL.
How it works
Volume (mL) = grams ÷ density. Default density is 1 for water-equivalent ingredients.
Change density to match oils, syrups, or chemicals for better accuracy.
Formula
mL = grams ÷ density
When to use it
- Baking and cooking when converting weighed ingredients to volume.
- Lab or DIY projects needing volume from mass with known density.
- Soap/candle making where oils and additives have different densities.
Tips & cautions
- Use accurate density for best results; packaging or MSDS sheets list it.
- If density is unknown, stick to weight measurements for precision.
- Keep units consistent—density must match g/mL for the formula to work as entered.
- Accuracy depends entirely on the density you provide.
- Assumes a homogeneous material; mixtures/emulsions can vary.
- Not suitable for gases without proper density inputs at given temperature/pressure.
Worked examples
250 g of olive oil (0.92 g/mL)
- 250 ÷ 0.92 ≈ 271.7 mL
Deep dive
This grams to mL converter divides mass by density to estimate volume. Enter grams and g/mL density to get milliliters for cooking, labs, or DIY.
Use it when you know weight but need volume; for unknown densities, weighing is more accurate than volume estimates.
FAQs
- Where do I find density?
- Check packaging or quick tables online. We provide common examples in the helper text.
- Is this accurate for dry goods?
- Only if you know bulk density. When in doubt, weigh for best results.
- Does temperature matter?
- Yes. Density changes with temperature. For precision, use temperature-corrected density values.
- Can I use kg/L instead?
- Convert to g/mL first (1 kg/L = 1 g/mL) to keep units consistent.
