About Converting Drams per Teaspoon to Pounds per Cup
Dram per Teaspoon and Pound per Cup both measure density — mass per unit volume — a property used to identify materials, check manufacturing quality, and predict whether something floats or sinks. As a fixed reference point, water has a density of exactly 1000 kg/m³ (1 g/cm³, 1 g/mL) at its temperature of maximum density, which is why many density figures in science and engineering are quoted relative to water. Both are mass per volume density units.
Formula
pounds per cup = drams per teaspoon × 0.1875
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 dram per teaspoon equals 359.479281951 base units, and 1 pound per cup equals 1917.22283707 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct dram per teaspoon-to-pound per cup factor of 0.1875.
Simple example
1 dr/tsp × 0.1875 = 0.1875 lb/cup
1 dram per teaspoon = 0.1875 pounds per cup.
Real-world example
1,000 dr/tsp × 0.1875 = 187.5 lb/cup
1,000 drams per teaspoon = 187.5 pounds per cup.

How do I convert pound per cup back to dram per teaspoon?
Use the reverse factor: 1 pound per cup equals 5.333333333 drams per teaspoon. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a dram per teaspoon?
Dram per Teaspoon (dr/tsp) is a unit of density.
What is a pound per cup?
Pound per Cup (lb/cup) is a unit of density.
Is the dram per teaspoon to pound per cup conversion exact?
Yes. Both dram per teaspoon and pound per cup are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 0.1875 used above is exact to as many digits as you choose to display.
What's the difference between density and mass concentration?
Density is the mass of a pure substance or material per unit volume. Mass concentration is the mass of one component — like a dissolved solute — within a mixture's total volume. The two use the same kind of units but describe different physical situations.
