Rounded Measurement for Quick Reference
1 oz. | = | 30 g | ||
4 oz. | = | 120 g | ||
8 oz. | = | 240 g | ||
16 oz. | = | 1 lb. | = | 480 g |
32 oz. | = | 2 lb. | = | 960 g |
36 oz. | = | 2¼ lb. | = | 1000 g (1 kg) |
1/4 tsp. | = | 1/24 fl. oz. | = | 1 ml |
½ tsp. | = | 1/12 fl. oz. | = | 2 ml |
1 tsp. | = | 1/6 fl. oz. | = | 5 ml |
1 Tbsp. | = | 1/2 fl. oz. | = | 15 ml |
1 C. | = | 8 fl. oz. | = | 240 ml |
2 c. (1 pt.) | = | 16 fl. oz. | = | 480 ml |
4 c. (1 qt.) | = | 32 fl. oz. | = | 960 ml |
4 qt. (1 gal.) | = | 128 fl. oz. | = | 3.75 It |

Conversion Guidelines
1 gallon | 4 quarts |
8 pints | |
16 cups (8 fluid ounces) | |
128 fluid ounces | |
1 fifth bottle | approximately 1 ½ pints or exactly 26.5 fluid ounces |
1 measuring cup | 8 fluid ounces (a coffee cup generally holds 6 fluid ounces) |
1 large egg white | 1 ounce (average) |
1 lemon | 1 to 1 ¼ fluid ounces of juice |
1 orange | 3 to 3½ fluid ounces of juice |
Scoop Sizes
Scoop Number | Level Measure |
---|---|
6 | 2/3 cup |
8 | 1/2 cup |
10 | 2/5 cup |
12 | 1/3 cup |
16 | 1/4 cup |
20 | 3 1/5 tablespoons |
24 | 2 2/3 tablespoons |
30 | 2 1/5 tablespoons |
40 | 1 3/5 tablespoons |
The number of the scoop determines the number of servings in each quart of a mixture: for example, with a No. 16 scoop, one quart of mixture will yield 16 servings. |
