How the Weight of 1 Pint of Granulated Sugar is Calculated

Converting granulated sugar from volume to gravitational mass requires multiplying volumetric capacity by physical density, then converting grams into avoirdupois pounds:

1. Volume = 1 US Dry Pint = 550.610 mL
2. Calibrated Density (ρ) = 0.8450 g/mL (USDA FoodData Central)
3. Mass (Grams) = 550.610 mL × 0.8450 g/mL = 465.3 g
4. Mass (Pounds) = 465.3 g ÷ 453.59237 g/lb = 1.0257 lb (16.41 oz)

* Calibration Source: USDA FoodData Central & ASBC Analytical Reference Database. Calibrated at 20°C (68°F) under 1 atm pressure.
