Determine the density of the liquid by looking it up on a chart or by dividing its mass by its volume. If you find the density on a chart, it will often be expressed in kilograms per cubic meter (kg/m^3).
For instance, the density of coconut oil is 924.27 kg/m^3.
Multiply the mass in kilograms by 1000 to convert it to grams (g).
924.27 kilograms of coconut oil equals 924,270 grams.
Multiply the volume in cubic meters by 1000 to convert it to liters (l). A cubic meter is the more common name for a kiloliter.
For example,1 cubic meter equals 1,000 liters.
Divide the volume in liters by 0.473 to convert it to pints.
1,000 liters equals approximately 2,114.165 pints.
Divide the mass in grams by the volume in pints to determine the number of grams per pint (pt).
For example, 924,270 g/2,114.165 pt equals 437.18 g/pt.
Multiply the number of grams per pint by the number of pints.
If you have two pints of coconut oil, you have approximately 874.36 grams of oil.
Determine the density of the liquid in grams per cubic meter, as for U.S. Customary Units.
Recall that coconut oil has a density of 924,270 g/m^3.
Multiply the volume in cubic meters by 1,000,000 to convert it to cubic centimeters.
For example, 1 liter equals 1,000,000 cm^3.
Divide the volume in cubic centimeters by 568.26 to convert it to imperial pints.
1,000,000 cm^3 equals approximately 1,893.01 imperial pints.
Divide the mass in grams by the volume in pints to determine the number of grams per pint.
For instance, 924,270 g/1,893.01 pt. equals approximately 488.25 g/pt.
Multiply the number of grams by the number of pints.
If you have two imperial pints of coconut oil, you have approximately 976.5 grams of oil.
