Liquid Volume Converter
Convert liquid volumes between US cups, millilitres, fluid ounces, pints, quarts and litres. Volume only — for dry ingredients use the cups-to-grams converter.
1 us cups in every unit
237 ml — 1 US cups · 8 fl oz
| Unit | Amount |
|---|---|
| US cups | 1 cups |
| Millilitres | 237 ml |
| US fluid ounces | 8 fl oz |
| US pints | 0.5 pt |
| US quarts | 0.25 qt |
| Litres | 0.24 L |
| US gallons | 0.06 gal |
1 US cup = 236.6 ml = 8 fl oz = 1/2 pint = 1/4 quart = 1/16 gallon. These are US pints and quarts — an imperial pint is 568 ml, about 20% larger, so old British recipes need the imperial figure.
Volume, not weight: fluid ounces measure volume. 8 fl oz of honey weighs about 11 oz, not 8 oz — for dry ingredients use the cups-to-grams converter.
Formula used: Every unit is converted through millilitres: 1 US cup = 236.588 ml, 1 fl oz = 29.574 ml, 1 US pint = 473.176 ml, 1 US quart = 946.353 ml, 1 litre = 1,000 ml, 1 US gallon = 3,785.41 ml.
How the liquid volume converter works
One US cup is 236.6 ml, 8 fluid ounces, 1/2 pint or 1/16 gallon. The tool converts between US cups, millilitres, fluid ounces, pints, quarts, litres and gallons — all at once, so you can read any recipe in any unit.
Watch out for
US and imperial pints are different: a US pint is 473 ml, an imperial pint is 568 ml. Old British recipes use imperial pints, American recipes use US pints — a 20% difference that matters in a stock pot. And remember that fluid ounces are volume, not weight: 8 fl oz of honey weighs 11 oz.
