Factors are entered by hand from NIST Handbook 130 rather than derived from a units library, so the ones that terminate are exact rather than rounded.
The same converter answers this pair however it is written: litres to US pints is the British spelling of the same units — the metre and the litre are spelled that way outside the United States and the quantity does not change.
How do you convert liters to US pints? The converter and the working
- 1.Take the measurement in liters.
- 2.Multiply by 2.1133764 — that is how many US pints fit in one liter.
- 3.To go back the other way, divide by 2.1133764, or multiply by 0.47317647.
Worked example: 25 liters to US pints

- L × 2.1133764 = pt
- Arithmetic
- 25 × 2.1133764 = 52.83 pt
- Answer
- 25 L = 52.83 pt
The factor is rounded for display; the figure above is computed from the full value.

Three different pints, and they differ by twenty per cent
The US liquid pint is 473.176473 ml. The US dry pint — the one berries and produce are sold in — is 550.6105 ml. The imperial pint, still the legal measure for draught beer in the UK, is 568.26125 ml. A US pint glass and a British one are not the same glass, and a dry pint of blueberries is not a liquid pint of milk. Every figure on this page is the US liquid pint.
NIST Handbook 44, Appendix C — general tables of units of measurement
What is a liter?
One cubic decimeter. A liter of water weighs almost exactly one kilogram, which is how the unit was designed.
What is a US pint?
Two US cups, about 473 ml. A UK pint is 568 ml — a fifth larger.
How many US pints are in a liter?
One liter is 2.1133764 US pints. Going the other way, one US pint is 0.47317647 liters. Both figures come from the same defined relation rather than from a measurement, which is why they are the same today as they were in 1959.

The whole group — 20 units with their symbols and the size of each one in liters — is on the conversion index, along with every pair it makes. The table above already gives each of them relative to a liter.
