1 mL of water weighs 1 gram so a recipe calling for 300 mL (≈ 1 ⁄ 2 Imperial Pint) of water can simply be substituted with 300 g (≈ 10 oz.) of water. 1 fluid ounce of water weighs approximately 1 ounce so a recipe calling for a UK pint (20 fl oz) of water can be substituted with 20 oz of water.
On 7 April 1795, the metric system was formally defined in French law using six units. Three of these are related to volume: the stère (1 m 3) for volume of firewood; the litre (1 dm 3) for volumes of liquid; and the gramme, for mass—defined as the mass of one cubic centimetre of water at the temperature of melting ice.

Some SI units of volume to scale and approximate corresponding mass of water. A litre is a cubic decimetre, which is the volume of a cube 10 centimetres × 10 centimetres × 10 centimetres (1 L ≡ 1 dm 3 ≡ 1000 cm 3). Hence 1 L ≡ 0.001 m 3 ≡ 1000 cm 3; and 1 m 3 (i.e. a cubic metre, which is the SI unit for volume) is exactly 1000 L.
Remember to use the right cups for dry and wet ingredients. It matters.
The fluid ounce is distinct from the (international avoirdupois) ounce as a unit of weight or mass, although it is sometimes referred to simply as an "ounce" where context makes the meaning clear (e.g., "ounces in a bottle"). A volume of pure water measuring one imperial fluid ounce has a mass of almost exactly one ounce.
The cup is a cooking measure of volume, commonly associated with cooking and serving sizes.In the US, it is traditionally equal to one-half US pint (236.6 ml). Because actual drinking cups may differ greatly from the size of this unit, standard measuring cups may be used, with a metric cup commonly being rounded up to 240 millilitres (legal cup), but 250 ml is also used depending on the ...
1 kop (cup) = 1 litre (1 Australian cup = 250 ml) 1 maatje (small measure) = 100 millilitres 1 vingerhoed (thimble) = 10 millilitres. Weight. 1 pond (pound) = 1 kilogram (1 pound avoirdupois = 0.454 kg) (though in modern colloquial speech, 500 g is also known as a pond. 1 ons (ounce) = 100 grams (1 ounce avoirdupois = 28.35 g) 1 lood (lead ...
The nit (nt) is a unit of luminance equal to one candela per metre squared (1 cd⋅m −2). The lambert (L) is a unit of luminance equal to 10 4 /π cd⋅m −2. The lumerg is a unit of luminous energy equal to 10 −7 lumen-seconds (100 nlm s). The talbot (T) is a unit of luminous energy equal to one lumen-second (1 lm⋅s).
