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: US pints to litres 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 US pints to liters? The converter and the working
- 1.Take the measurement in US pints.
- 2.Multiply by 0.47317647 — that is how many liters fit in one US pint.
- 3.To go back the other way, divide by 0.47317647, or multiply by 2.1133764.
Worked example: 25 US pints to liters
- Formula
- pt × 0.47317647 = L
- Arithmetic
- 25 × 0.47317647 = 11.83 L
- Answer
- 25 pt = 11.83 L
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 US pint?
Two US cups, about 473 ml. A UK pint is 568 ml — a fifth larger.
What is a liter?
One cubic decimeter. A liter of water weighs almost exactly one kilogram, which is how the unit was designed.
How many liters are in a US pint?
One US pint is 0.47317647 liters. Going the other way, one liter is 2.1133764 US pints. 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.
