🔬 Grams → Milliliters Converter
Find the liquid volume corresponding to a mass in grams.
Great for lab work, cooking, and cosmetics when ingredient mass needs to be dispensed by volume.
Pure water at ~4°C.
Milliliters: 500 mL
Liters: 0.5 L
Cups: 2.11
How to Use This Calculator
Enter grams
Provide the mass of the ingredient or fluid in grams.
Select density
Pick the material or supply a custom density in grams per cubic centimeter (g/cc).
Review mL output
Read the milliliters, liters, and cups required to hold the specified mass.
Formula
Volume (cc) = Mass (g) ÷ Density (g/cc)
Milliliters = Cubic centimeters
Liters = Milliliters ÷ 1,000
Cups = Convert milliliters to cups (1 cup ≈ 236.588 mL)
Use the formula breakdown to confirm the calculation logic or perform the conversion manually if needed.
Full Description
Many kitchen and lab tasks weigh ingredients but dispense them by volume. This converter uses density to bridge mass and volume, avoiding trial-and-error measurements.
Since density varies, especially in food and chemical applications, choose the preset that matches your substance or enter a custom value.
Supplemental outputs in liters and cups help you translate the same mass into common storage and serving units.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do I need density?
Grams measure mass while milliliters measure volume. Density connects them (density = mass ÷ volume).
Can I convert back from mL to grams?
Yes. Multiply milliliters by density to obtain grams, or use the grams-to-ml page in the opposite direction.
What about temperature effects?
Density can change with temperature. Use a density measured at your working temperature for accurate results.
Does it support negative values?
Negative mass is not physical, so the converter treats negative inputs as invalid.
