Pints to liters table
| Pints | US pint → Liters | UK pint → Liters |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 | 0.236588 | 0.284130 |
| 1 | 0.473176 | 0.568261 |
| 2 | 0.946353 | 1.136522 |
| 4 | 1.892706 | 2.273045 |

Formula
US pint → liters
\( L = \text{pints} \times 0.473176473 \)
UK pint → liters
\( L = \text{pints} \times 0.56826125 \)
Liters → pints (US)
\( \text{pints} = \frac{L}{0.473176473} \)
Why do US and UK pints differ?
The US pint is based on the US gallon (3.785 L), while the UK pint is based on the imperial gallon (4.546 L). Since 1 gallon = 8 pints, the UK pint is bigger.
Example
A recipe says “2 pints of stock”. If it is UK-based: \( 2 \times 0.56826125 = 1.1365 \) L. If it is US-based: \( 2 \times 0.473176473 = 0.9463 \) L. So always check the origin!
