If you know the density of the substance, you can calculate the mass by multiplying the volume and the density. In the case of sugar, a teaspoon is approx. 4 grams. But in general for precise results, you need to know the density.

he formal definition of density is mass per unit volume. Usually the density is expressed in grams per mL or cc. Mathematically a "per" statement is translated as a division. cc is a cubic centimeter and is equal to a mL Therefore,
Density(g/mL) = mass /volume
Sugar density can be measured with vibrating element
transducers. These are used in brix determination, evaporator control, dissolvers and similar. They are also used with sugar syrups and solutions.
The choices include dedicated digital density transmitters and the "coriolis" style density transmitters.
A web seacrh for density transducers should bring your to a range of different manufacturers.

If you have the density, multiply it to the volume to find mass.

You have to know the density of the solid in terms of your available means of measuring the volume; or do whatever conversions you need to. If you know the density of sand in lb/cubic yard and you want to find the weight of a liter of sand, convert the density in lb/cu yd to lb/liter.

mass/volume = density
so we can calculate mass by multiplying the volume of the substance with its density.
