Water (Pure) Weight Reviewed

80 Grams of Water to Cups

Direct Kitchen Answer

80 grams of Water (Pure) equals ⅓ cup, or exactly 5⅜ tablespoons.

For reliable recipe results, that equals 5.4 tablespoons or 16.2 teaspoons in US Customary Cup standards.

Density Note: Calibrated for Liquid at room temperature (68°F / 20°C) at a reference density of 236.6g per cup (1.000 g/mL).

Direct Answer

80 grams of Water (Pure) = 1/3 cups

Decimal value: 0.34 cups • Practical kitchen fraction: 1/3 cups

Tablespoons 5.4 tbsp
Teaspoons 16.2 tsp
Grams per Cup 236.6g / cup
Bulk Density 1.000 g/mL
Calibrated Measurement Condition: Liquid at room temperature (68°F / 20°C)
Exact Formula

Calculation & Mathematical Derivation

To convert 80 grams of Water (Pure) into US Customary measuring cups (236.6 mL):

Cups = Weight in Grams ÷ Grams per Cup (Bulk Density)
Cups = 80g ÷ 236.6g/cup = 0.34 cups (kitchen fraction: 1/3 cups)
Tablespoons = 80g ÷ 14.79g/tbsp = 5.4 tablespoons

This calculation is calibrated specifically for Liquid at room temperature (68°F / 20°C) under standard kitchen conditions (sourced from National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)).

Technique Note: Density is 1.000 g/mL; 1 US Customary cup = 236.6 mL = 236.6g. In US Legal cups (240 mL), water weighs 240g.
