Calculation Steps

Base Value: 0 grams
Target Unit: cups

Ingredient: Table salt, Density: 1.217

Converting Weight to Volume (using density):

0 grams to grams: 0 g

ml = grams / density = 0 / 1.217 = 0 ml

ml to cups: 0 * 0.0042267570629110525 = 0 cups

Final Result: 0.000 cups

How to Convert Grams of Table Salt to Cups

Cups = (Grams ÷ Density) → Milliliters → Cups

Step 1: Convert grams to mL using: mL = grams ÷ density.

Step 2: Convert mL to the target volume unit (like cups, tbsp, etc.). E.g., 1 cup = 236.588 mL.

For 100 grams of olive oil (density ≈ 0.847 g/mL), step 1: 100 ÷ 0.847 ≈ 118.06 mL. Step 2: 118.06 ÷ 236.588 ≈ 0.50 cups.

Example: Converting 10 grams of table salt results in about 0.035 cups.

What is the Density of Table Salt?

The density of table salt is 1.217 g/mL.

How do I calculate the Density of Table Salt?

Here’s a simple 2-step process to find the density (in grams per milliliter):

  1. Step 1: Weigh 1 cup (236.588 mL) of table salt
    • Place an empty measuring cup on a kitchen scale and "tare" it.
    • Fill the cup until you have exactly 1 cup of table salt.
    • The mass should be about 287.9 grams.
  2. Step 2: Use the density formula:
    Density = Mass (g) / Volume (mL)

    So, with ~287.9 g in 236.588 mL, the density = 1.217 g/mL.
