No there are no guidelines. Each substance weighs differently. Cups are measures of volume. You'll have to convert each individually. Here's a good site for doing that: http://allrecipes.com/advice/ref/conv/conversions_gramscups.asp
1/2 cup = 55 grams flour.
1 cup = 225 grams of Sugar

depends on what is in the 1/2 cup. 1/2 cup of oil weighs more than a 1/2 of water.

1/2 cup flour is 60 grams which is 2.107 oz.
1 cup sugar is 225 grams which is 7.903 oz.
You can't say everything 1/2 cup is weighs 4 oz. or everything 1 cup weighs 8 oz. think of 1cup marshmallows and 1 cup milk. They fill up the same amount of space but because of different densities weigh different amounts. There are no set guidelines for converting volume to weight because you have to take into account density. Here is a guide for you:

It relies upon on which style of egg noodles you're making use of, some enhance so lots extra desirable than others. in case you have the time, why no longer purely cook a small quantity as a pattern to verify how lots they enhance, do purely a a million/2 a cup, say, and then multiply to discover your answer.

The actual weight is not significant. It will vary depending on whatever is being measured. Remember, we are not talking about a coffee cup. A legitimate measuring cup will give you the proper portions.

Well, 1 cup is equal to 8 oz, so 1/2 cup is equal to 4 oz. This is also equivalent to 112 grams.

Just use 1/2 cup and don't worry about it. Why make things more complicated that they have to be.

Depends on the size of the cup. It doesn't really matter as long as you use the same cup to measure the ingredients for the recipe.

1 cup = 8 ounces = 1/2 pound
so just do the math and you'll be fine. good luck
