How to convert grams to ml?
Type a value in either box and pick the ingredient, and the answer shows it in the other unit as you type.
- Milliliters (mL)
- 1.000025
1 g = 1.000025 mL (Water at 4 °C, 0.999975 kg per L).
Milliliters (mL): 1.000025. 1 g = 1.000025 mL (Water at 4 °C, 0.999975 kg per L).
Milliliters (mL) by grams (g)
How to calculate
Converts grams to milliliters and back for water, milk, flour, sugar, and other ingredients, from what each one weighs per liter.
Example with the default inputs (Grams (g) 1, Ingredient Water at 4 °C, 0.999975 kg per L): 1 g = 1.000025 mL (Water at 4 °C, 0.999975 kg per L).
Formula: ml = grams ÷ 0.999975, where kilograms per liter depends on the ingredient (water at 4 °C: 0.999975 kg)
- Grams per cup are USDA FoodData Central (SR Legacy) portion weights for one level US cup (8 US fluid ounces): all-purpose flour 125 g (FDC 168894), granulated sugar 200 g (FDC 169655), brown sugar, packed 220 g (FDC 168833), powdered sugar, unsifted 120 g (FDC 169656), whole milk 244 g (FDC 171265), butter 227 g (FDC 173410), olive oil 216 g (FDC 171413), honey 339 g (FDC 169640), white rice, uncooked 185 g (FDC 169756).
- Water is pure water: 0.999975 kg per liter at 4 °C and 0.998207 kg per liter at 20 °C, from the Tanaka et al. (2001) density formula.
- Other ingredients use their USDA cup weight: kilograms per liter = grams per cup ÷ 236.5882365.
- Exact on the typed decimals: at most 6 decimal places (6 significant digits below 0.0001), rounded half up; an answer of 1 billion or more shows at most 15 significant digits.

Other questions people ask
How many milliliters are in 100 grams?
It depends on the ingredient, because a weight does not fix the volume. 100 g is about, in milliliters: all-purpose flour 189.3; granulated sugar 118.3; brown sugar, packed 107.5; powdered sugar, unsifted 197.2; water at 4 °C 100; water at 20 °C 100.2; whole milk 96.96; butter 104.2; olive oil 109.5; honey 69.79; white rice, uncooked 127.9.
How do I convert grams to ml?
ml = grams ÷ 0.999975, where kilograms per liter depends on the ingredient (water at 4 °C: 0.999975 kg). For example, 100 g of water at 4 °C is 100.0025 ml.
Does a liter of water weigh 1 kg?
Almost. Pure water weighs 0.999975 kg per liter at 4 °C, where it is densest, and 0.998207 kg per liter at 20 °C (Tanaka et al. 2001). Other liquids differ more: a liter of whole milk weighs about 1.03 kg and a liter of olive oil about 0.91 kg (USDA).
Is 1 gram of water 1 mL?
Almost: 1 g of water is 1.000025 mL at 4 °C and 1.001796 mL at 20 °C (Tanaka et al. 2001). Other ingredients differ more: 1 g of all-purpose flour fills 1.892706 mL.
