How many pints are in a liter?

1.75975398639 imperial pints, or 2.11337641887 US liquid pints, and this page opens on the imperial answer. Both scale straight up. In imperial pints: 0.5 L is 0.879876993196 pt, 1.5 L is 2.63963097959 pt, 2 L is 3.51950797279 pt, 5 L is 8.79876993196 pt and 10 L is 17.5975398639 pt. In US pints the same litres are 1.05668820943, 3.1700646283, 4.22675283773, 10.5668820943 and 21.1337641887 pt.

Which pint does this page use, and how do I get the other one?

The headline is the imperial pint of 568.26125 mL, the one poured in the UK and Ireland. For the US liquid pint of 473.176473 mL you have two routes and neither reloads the page: choose Pint (US) in the To menu to put it in the headline, or simply read the Pint (US) row in the list under the answer, which is already there on arrival. At 1 L those two rows read 1.75975398639 and 2.11337641887.

What is the formula for liters to pints?

For the imperial pint, pints = litres / 0.56826125, which is the same as multiplying by 1.75975398639. For the US liquid pint, pints = litres / 0.473176473, or multiply by 2.11337641887. Both divisors are exact definitions rather than measurements. Going back the other way, litres = imperial pints × 0.56826125 and litres = US pints × 0.473176473, and the swap button between the boxes sets that direction up for you.

How much bigger is an imperial pint than a US pint?

One imperial pint is 1.2009499255 US pints, so a little over a fifth more, and one US pint is 0.832674184629 imperial pints. In millilitres it is 568.26125 against 473.176473, a gap of 95.084777 mL. The gap follows through the whole imperial family: an imperial gallon is 4.54609 L while a US gallon is 3.785411784 L, which is why 1 L is 0.219969248299 imperial gallons and 0.264172052358 US gallons.

Is a pint 16 or 20 fluid ounces?

Twenty imperial fluid ounces make an imperial pint, and sixteen US fluid ounces make a US pint, so the two pints differ by more than the count suggests: the imperial fluid ounce is 28.4130625 mL and the US one is 29.5735295625 mL. One litre is 35.1950797279 imperial fluid ounces and 33.8140227018 US fluid ounces, and both rows are in the list, the imperial one once the Show 5 more switch is on.

How many litres are in 4 pints?

2.273045 L in four imperial pints, since each is exactly 0.56826125 L. Two imperial pints are 1.1365225 L, eight are 4.54609 L, which is exactly one imperial gallon, and half a pint is 284.130625 mL. In US pints the arithmetic runs on 473.176473 mL instead. Press the swap button between the two boxes and this page becomes a pints to litres converter, with the pint you had selected still in place.

Why does the list under the answer show a pint that is not the one in the headline?

Because the list leaves out only the unit you are converting from, which here is the litre. The US pint is a common unit, so it is listed from the start; the imperial pint is filed as uncommon along with the imperial fluid ounce, the imperial gallon, the cubic inch and the cubic foot, so the Show 5 more switch in the readout strip adds it as a row as well. Until you flip that switch the imperial pint is in the headline only, and the US pint is the one in the list.

Why does the page open on litres and imperial pints when I last converted something else?

Because a page that names a pair should show that pair. This one sets Litre and Pint (imperial) on arrival, ahead of whatever the converter last remembered, and it leaves the main unit converter's own pair alone: go back there and it is still on the units you left it on. The number you last typed does travel with you, along with the uncommon units switch, since that is usually the figure you are still working on.

Liters to Pints Converter

A pint is two different volumes depending on which country set it, so litres to pints has two answers and this page shows both. The imperial pint is exactly 0.56826125 litres, so pt = L / 0.56826125, which makes 1 L 1.75975398639 pt, 2 L 3.51950797279 pt, 5 L 8.79876993196 pt and 10 L 17.5975398639 pt. The US liquid pint is exactly 0.473176473 litres, which makes one imperial pint 1.2009499255 US pints, so the same litre is 2.11337641887 US pints and 2 L is 4.22675283773 US pints. This page opens the converter with Litre (L) in the From box and Pint (imperial) in the To box, ahead of whatever pair you converted last, and it does not hide the other pint: the list under the answer prints Pint (US) alongside millilitres, cubic metres, teaspoons, tablespoons, fluid ounces, cups, quarts and gallons, so one litre reads 1.75975398639 imperial pints in the headline and 2.11337641887 US pints in the list at the same moment. The imperial units are filed as uncommon, so imperial fluid ounces, imperial pints and imperial gallons join that list only when the Show 5 more switch in the readout strip is on, while both unit menus carry every volume unit at all times.

Conversion factors are the exact legal definitions where one exists. An inch is exactly 2.54 cm and a pound exactly 0.45359237 kg, so those conversions are exact rather than approximate. Temperature uses offsets rather than factors, and that is shown in the working.
