0.478296 Pounds (Ice)
SwitchExplanation
The converter converts pounds of Ice from us cups using one fixed density basis of 917 kg/m^3. The same density model is used in the calculator, common values, and mirror page so weight, mass, and volume checks stay aligned.
Representative density for pure ice near 0 C.

Ice density and calculation basis
Ice is represented in this table by a fixed reference density of 917 kg/m^3, equivalent to 0.917 g/cm^3. Representative density for pure ice near 0 C.
At this fixed reference, 1 liter of Ice corresponds to 0.917 kg, while 1 kg corresponds to 1.090513 liters. Its table density is 8.0% lower than the 997 kg/m^3 water reference used in this dataset.
Among the 17 fixed table records labeled Liquids, the nearest density to Ice is Vegetable Oil at 920 kg/m^3: an absolute difference of 3 kg/m^3 (0.3% relative to Ice). 8 records have a lower fixed density and 8 have a higher one. The observed range in this labeled group is Gasoline at 745 kg/m^3 to Honey at 1420 kg/m^3. This is a numerical comparison, not a claim that the materials are interchangeable.
For this direction, mass is calculated as volume multiplied by density after normalizing the units to cubic meters and kilograms. The resulting page multiplier is 0.478296 lb per cup (US).
The fixed value supports repeatable calculations but is not a batch, grade, supplier, or laboratory specification. Use a measured or certified density when those conditions control the result.
