Weight: 0.00 grams

Calculation Formula

Weight (g) = Volume (cups) × Conversion Factor (g/cup)

Where:
Volume (cups) = The volume of flour in cups
Conversion Factor (g/cup) = The weight per cup for the selected flour type

How to Use the Calculator

  1. Enter the volume of flour you want to measure in cups (e.g., 1.5 cups).
  2. Select the type of flour from the dropdown menu. Different flour types have different densities.
  3. Click the "Calculate" button to compute the weight of the flour in grams.
  4. The result will be displayed in grams. You can click "Reset" to clear all inputs.

Understanding Flour Weights

The weight of flour can vary significantly based on the type of flour used. Here are some common conversion factors (grams per cup) for different flour types:

  • All-Purpose Flour: 125g/cup
  • Wheat Flour: 120g/cup
  • Whole Wheat Flour: 115g/cup
  • Bread Flour: 130g/cup
  • Pastry Flour: 110g/cup
  • Gluten-Free Flour: 110g/cup

Principle of Calculation

The calculator uses a simple formula to convert volume to weight:
Weight (g) = Volume (cups) × Conversion Factor (g/cup)
This conversion factor accounts for the different densities of various flour types.

Tips for Baking

For more accurate baking results, it's recommended to use a kitchen scale to measure flour by weight rather than by volume. However, this calculator can help you estimate the weight when a scale is not available.
