Conversion Formulas
To convert grams to US fluid ounces:
$$\text{fl oz} = \frac{m_g}{\rho \times 29.574}$$
To convert grams to UK fluid ounces, divide by $28.413$ instead of $29.574$. Where $m_g$ is mass in grams and $\rho$ is density in $g/mL$. For example, $100\ g$ of water equals about $3.38$ US fl oz because $100 / (1.0 \times 29.574) \approx 3.38$.
To convert fluid ounces back to grams:
$$m_g = \text{fl oz} \times V_{factor} \times \rho$$
Where $V_{factor}$ is $29.574$ for US fl oz or $28.413$ for UK fl oz.
US vs UK Fluid Ounces
