Methodology
Vegetable Oil density and calculation basis
Vegetable Oil is represented in this table by a fixed reference density of 920 kg/m^3, equivalent to 0.92 g/cm^3. Representative refined vegetable oil density.
At this fixed reference, 1 liter of Vegetable Oil corresponds to 0.92 kg, while 1 kg corresponds to 1.086957 liters. Its table density is 7.7% lower than the 997 kg/m^3 water reference used in this dataset.
Among the 17 fixed table records labeled Liquids, the nearest density to Vegetable Oil is Ice at 917 kg/m^3: an absolute difference of 3 kg/m^3 (0.3% relative to Vegetable Oil). 9 records have a lower fixed density and 7 have a higher one. The observed range in this labeled group is Gasoline at 745 kg/m^3 to Honey at 1420 kg/m^3. This is a numerical comparison, not a claim that the materials are interchangeable.
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.
The fixed value supports repeatable calculations but is not a batch, grade, supplier, or laboratory specification. Use a measured or certified density when those conditions control the result.
