To convert grams of orange juice into millilitres, multiply by 0.95398482: one gram comes to 0.95398482 millilitres. Every ingredient has its own figure here, because the units are measuring different things and only the density links them.
The density behind that figure is 1.0482 g per mL, against 1.00 for water. A cup of water weighs 236.6 g and a cup of orange juice weighs 248 g, so this ingredient is 104.8% as heavy as the same volume of water — the single fact the whole page rests on.
Orange juice has a density of 1.0482 g per mL, so 100 mL of it weighs 104.8 g and 250 mL weighs 262.1 g. That single figure is what every other number on this page is built from — water is 1.00 g per mL, so this ingredient is 104.8% as heavy as the same volume of water.
Grams are the unit this conversion is really for. A domestic scale resolves to a gram, which is 0.403% of a cup of orange juice, so weighing gets an accuracy no measuring cup can reach. A 500 g pack of it is 2.016 cups, and a 1 kg pack 4.032.
The condition this weight assumes: The dissolved sugar puts it just above water, which is why a hydrometer can read juice strength at all.
The formula
grams- The amount of orange juice you are converting, in grams
0.953984824597- Millilitres per gram for orange juice, from its density of 1.0482 g/mL
millilitres- The equivalent quantity in millilitres
How it works, step by step
- Enter the quantity in grams.
- It is multiplied by 0.953984824597, the millilitres-per-gram figure for orange juice.
- The result appears in millilitres, with a second reading in tsp beneath it.
- Use the measure table if you want a standard recipe quantity rather than a number you type in.
Worked examples
50 g of orange juice in millilitres
50 g of orange juice weighs out at 47.6992 millilitres. Divide 47.6992 by 0.95398482 and you get back to 50 g, which is the quickest check that the factor is the right way up.
150 g of orange juice in millilitres
Take 150 g of orange juice: 150 × 0.95398482 gives 143.098 millilitres. Doubling the batch takes it to 286.195 millilitres, because the relationship is a straight proportion once the density is known.
500 g of orange juice in millilitres
Take 500 g of orange juice: 500 × 0.95398482 gives 476.992 millilitres. Doubling the batch takes it to 953.985 millilitres, because the relationship is a straight proportion once the density is known.

Frequently asked questions
How many millilitres are in 1 g of orange juice?
One gram of orange juice is 0.95398482 millilitres. Half that quantity is 0.476992 millilitres and double it is 1.90797 millilitres, so the figure scales straight up and down — there is no offset in this conversion, only the factor.
Why is a cup of orange juice not 236 g like water?
Because weight per cup depends on what is in the cup. Orange juice has a density of 1.0482 g per mL where water has 1.00, so a cup of it weighs 248 g rather than 236.6 g. That is a difference of 11.4 g per cup, and it is the reason a single volume-to-weight factor cannot be applied to every ingredient.
Does how I measure it change the weight?
Barely. Orange juice does not compress, so a cup of it is 248 g however it is poured — within about 1%, which is inside the accuracy of a domestic scale. This is the group where measuring by volume is defensible.
Is a fluid ounce of orange juice the same as an ounce?
No. A fluid ounce is a volume — one eighth of a US cup, 29.57 mL — and an ounce is a weight. One fluid ounce of orange juice weighs 1.093 oz, so the two readings differ by 9.35%. They coincide only for something with the density of water, and then only roughly.
Is this a US cup or a metric cup?
US customary: 236.59 mL, which is the cup every US recipe means. A metric cup is 250 mL, so the same cup of orange juice would weigh 262.06 g instead of 248 g — 14.1 g more, or 5.67%. Australian and some European recipes use the metric cup, and the difference is large enough to matter in baking.
Do I need a scale for this, or will measuring cups do?
At this size the spoon wins. One millilitre of orange juice is 1.048 g, and a scale reading to the nearest gram is working at 95.4% resolution on that — a measuring spoon is the more accurate instrument below about 5 g, which is why spice quantities are still written in spoons.
How much does 15 mL of orange juice weigh?
15 mL of orange juice comes to 15.724 g, or 15.724 grams. This page runs that calculation in reverse — enter a weight and it returns the volume — and the ml-to-grams page does it in the direction the question is usually asked.
