== == == == The density of sifted white flour (made from wheat) is approximately:
125 grams/cup, or
528 grams/liter.
This information is from www.cookingforengineers.com/article/63/Wheat-Flour, and it agrees with the measurement I made in my kitchen. I recommend this article; it has a good section on measuring flour. The main points are:
# Recipes that give volume measurements for flour should (and usually do) give sifted volumes, because the sifted density is fairly reproduceable, but settling can give a density as much as 1.5 as much as this. # Measuring by weight is the best way. If you have a recipe with volumes and you want to convert to weights this density is useful - at least as a starting point. # Some recipes may give volumes converted from weights (or vice versa) using a density of 140 grams/cup, intermediate between sifted and highly settled. There is no easy way to produce this density, so this practice is not helpful. If you have a recipe with both weight and volume given, and the weight/volume ratio is 140 grams/cup, then probably either the volume is right (for sifted flour) but the weight is too large, or the weight is right, but the volume is too small. It may take some experimentation to determine which.
Some other things the density could depend on, besides whether it is sifted or settled:
* Which components are included; is it whole grain flour, white, or something in between? * How dry is the flour? * What grain is it made from - wheat, rye, buckwheat, corn, rice, etc.?
To give some idea of how much the density can vary,
here are some wheat flour density measurements I just made in my kitchen:
White all-purpose flour, settled: 183 grams/cup
White all-purpose flour, sifted: 123 grams/cup
Hope this helps.

What are the physical changes in flour?
the physical properties of flour are the bulk density, wettability and dispersibility.
What is the effect of flour type on muffin density?
It is not necessarily the kind of flour as it is how much you BEAT IT. Muffins should never be beaten. You beat the eggs, etc but once you get to adding the flour, it needs to be GENTLY folded in. The more you mix it, the tougher the batter becomes. Then you have a cake rather than a muffin.
What will you add to increase its density say to 1.5?
add flour to it. if it makes other things (sauces) thicker, than it could do the same for water. other than adding a powder i think its impossible to thicken water. it might get a higher density in pressure, but i dont know
25 cups of flour equals how many pounds?
Depends on the type of flour: All purpose flour: ~6.89 pounds Whole wheat flour: ~6.61 pounds Bread flour: ~7 pounds Rye flour: ~5.62 pounds
Is flour a carbonate?
No. Flour is a mixture of carbohydrates.
What is the density of flour in grams per milliliter?
For wheat flour, first quality: 0,48 g/cm3; the bulk density is strongly dependent on the type of flour.
What is the density of rice flour?
400kg/m3

How do you convert 1700 kg flour to meter cube?
The conversion between m cube and kg cannot be converted to each other .On finding the relation we get as follows . Density = kg/cubic m.
How do you convert 500 grams of flour into deciliters?
Depends on the density of the used flour, but the one I use, 1dl is around 65 grams.
What are the physical changes in flour?

How many grams of flour are in 1 cup?
--------------------------------- Considering an US customary cup of 236, 588 236 5 mL and a density of wheat flour of 0,593 g/cm3: mass = volume x density = 140,3 g
What is the use of flour in baking?
Flour serves as a base for all baking. It provides structure to the baked good as well as density to make things firmer.
Why does one cup of sugar weigh more than one cup of flour?
sugar tends to be more heavier that flour...i think :DDue to it's greater density
How may cups in 238 gram?
That depends upon the substance and its density. cups are a measure of volume grams are a measure of weight. 1 cup of flour can have different weights depending how much the flour is packed into the cup measure - the firmer it is packed in, the greater its density and the more it weighs.
How may cups of flour equal 50 lbs?
U.S. All-purpose flour has a density of 4.5 cups per pound. 50 pounds * 4.5 cups/pound = 225 cups this is according to the flour density, if it is Sugar Granulated sugar has a densiy of 2.4 cups per pound. 50 pounds * 2.4 cups/pound = 120 cups
Is 1.6 quart the same as 80 ounces of flour?
No. Quart is a unit of volume while ounce is a unit of mass. One way to convert one to another is to use the ratio rho=m/V, where m is the mass, V is the volume and rho is the density (in your case the density of flour)
