Conversion Method and Formula
Converting between kilograms and cups requires knowing the density of the substance, as kilograms measure mass while cups measure volume. The general formula is:
Cups = Kilograms × (4.2268 / Density in g/mL)
For water, which has a density of approximately 1 g/mL, this simplifies to:
Cups of water ≈ Kilograms × 4.2268
For other substances, the conversion factor varies based on their density. For example:
- Milk: approximately 4.1036 cups per kg
- Cooking Oil: approximately 4.8031 cups per kg
- All Purpose Flour: approximately 7.9901 cups per kg
- Granulated Sugar: approximately 5.9954 cups per kg
These conversions are approximate and can vary slightly depending on factors such as temperature, humidity, and the specific variety of the substance. For precise measurements, especially in cooking and baking, it’s always best to use a kitchen scale when possible.
