Methodology

Vegetable Oil density and calculation basis

Evidence status: needs-review.

Vegetable oil density depends on the oil or blend and temperature.

composition: Separate named oils; no runtime blend identified

Source basis: FAO / Codex Alimentarius, Codex standards for fats and oils: archived compilation. Separate specifications for named vegetable oils. https://www.fao.org/4/y2774e/y2774e04.htm Applicability: context-only.

Identify oil composition and its reference conditions.

For this direction, volume is calculated as mass divided by density after normalizing the units to kilograms and cubic meters. The resulting page multiplier is 2.083938 cup (US) per lb.

Use a measured density for a specific batch, grade or supplier; the table value is a reference, not a product specification.
