How does it measure ml? isnt that volume instead of weight?

Metric conversion is done by using water as the basis for both density and weight. If you have a 2 liter bottle (of water or of something with equivalent density), you could put it on a scale and it would weight 2000 grams. That's how the metric system operates, using water as a standard for measuring weight and volume.

Wow. The questioner is absolutely correct. The displayed answer... not so much.

It utilizes an average density for powders to give an estimate of volume. It is not as accurate as you would like in the volumetric measurements

you need to balance it, by pressing long on the right buttonthe reason it is this way is because it allows you to put a container on it and balance it to 0 - it will measure what you put in the container without the weight of the container...

There are oz. and ml. marks, but with the shape of the bottle the measurement isn't 100% accurate. It is close though.

I didn't weigh my product in it's solid state so I can't say what the weight was but I did measure it once it was fully melted and had 2 cups of liquid. I would assume that they have to pour it into the container in a liquid state because it's so smooth in the jar so they may also measure it by volume. I don't recall if or what the jar indicated in that regard.

My experience is that it is accurate with very small masses such as fractions of an ounce or in a low number of grams. For such small masses or volumes I put a small Dixie cup on the scale (which typically weighs about 3 grams) and then tare the scale and then add in the powder or whatever I need to weigh. I typically use grams, but the scale can show weights in tenths or hundredths of an ounce.

In some products fluid ounces may correspond closely to weight ounces but no scale can measure volume. You have just been lucky that the weight measure has been close enough to the volume that your previous recipes have worked.

Yes, it measures in ounces, also in ml. The glass is easy to read. It's a sturdy measuring glass, I've been very pleased with it.

No, best use a measuring cup. (However, if you can work in metric units, remember that 1 gram of water equals 1 milliliter.)

If you want to measure liquids you need to know the density of the liquid you are measuring and then do some math. Water is easy because it is 1 g / mL, so 500g of water is 500mL. Canola oil has a density of about 0.92 g / mL, so 500g would get you about 543 mL.

It does show 1/2 tbsp, 1 tsp, 1 tbs, 2 tbs, 1/8 oz, 1/4 oz, 1/2 oz, 3/4 oz, 1 oz, and incremental metric measures from .25 ml - 30 ml.

Although this is a scale, it is only used to weigh ingredients. It will not tell you how many ounces pounds grams so forth. It will just tell you whether not you added enough or too much.

Sorry, I purchased this as a gift for my son. I asked him if he knew and he didn't. I bought it for his 9 ml if that helps.

Ounces measure weight fluid ounces measure volume a little more product in ounces

That's going to be a little difficult -- cups are volume measure, grams are weight. It would convert from grams or kilograms to pounds with no problem. One of my cooking instructors had a saying "A pint's a pound the world around" - so admittedly that's a pretty loose standard but if it isn't something really finicky like pastry, that heuristic would probably work.

Hi Chris. I don't remember what the first measuring unit was when I bought it or if I had to change it. I use it on ounces most of the time and it turns back on to the last unit you used. It is very easy to switch between units, just the push of the button.

Weight ounces and volume ounces are two different things. 8 ounces in volume is a 1 measuring cup's worth. Who cares what it weighs. One jar (one cup's worth) lasts several months and is just as good on my Mauviel copper as their much more expensive product.
