This means that making a conversion requires an extra factor - a substance density figure. As a very crude example, a cup full of sugar will weigh less than a cup full of olive oil because olive oil is a denser substance. I've given a list of ingredients to choose from.
However, please be aware that these are approximations - different brands of ingredients will vary to a small extent. This means that the results you receive will be estimations.

The reality is that if you need half a cup of milk for one recipe and you only have a dry measurement cup, you can still use it. However, you may need to deal with all those spills.
This is the reason why liquid measurement cups tend to include measurement lines below the rims. This way, you can easily measure all the liquid ingredients you need without worrying about spilling.

So, if you check your results, you will se that when you are using the dry cup to measure this ingredient, your measurement will be off by as much as 13 percent. In this case, you will have weighted even more flour.
