Frequently Asked Questions: 520 Grams to Cups

Targeted answers for converting 520 grams into cup volume across different baking ingredients.

Is 520 grams equal to half a cup?

It depends entirely on the ingredient density. 520 grams is 4 ⅛ cups of all-purpose flour (63g is half a cup), 2 ⅔ cups of granulated sugar (100g is half a cup), and 2 ¼ cups of water. Because cups measure volume while grams measure mass, there is no single conversion for 520g.

How many tablespoons is 520 grams?

For liquid water or milk, 520 grams equals 35.2 tablespoons. For spooned all-purpose flour, 520g equals 66.6 tablespoons. For granulated sugar, 520g equals 41.6 tablespoons.

How many ounces is 520 grams?

520 grams equals 18.34 ounces on a digital kitchen scale. This avoirdupois weight measurement remains identical regardless of ingredient volume or compaction.

Why does 520 grams of flour take up more cup volume than 520 grams of sugar?

All-purpose flour has a loose, airy particle structure weighing only 125 grams per US cup, whereas granulated sugar granules pack densely at 200 grams per US cup. Consequently, 520g of flour occupies a larger volume (4 ⅛ cups) than 520g of sugar (2 ⅔ cups).
