Flour Weight Conversion
Turn cups of flour into grams by flour type.
About Flour Weight Conversion
Spooned flour weighs less than scooped, but a per-type density multiplied by cups gives a reliable gram weight. Flour type and scooping change cup weights by twenty percent, so weighing avoids subtle dry or slack doughs.
Formula
Flour Weight Conversion
Grams = cups x per-type density (AP 120, bread 127, cake 115, whole wheat 113)
- density
- Grams of that flour in one unscuffed cup

Assumptions and limits
- The result is derived only from the 2 inputs listed above. Anything not among them is not part of the calculation.
- In particular, this calculator does not take inflation, tax, fees or charges or compounding frequency into account.
- Figures are rounded for display to 1 decimal place, so totals built from several rounded parts can differ slightly from the unrounded arithmetic.
