Formula: mL = pt × 473.176
Converting pints to milliliters is essential for anyone working with recipes, beverages, or pharmaceutical measurements across different regions. One US pint equals 473.176 milliliters, while one imperial pint equals 568.261 milliliters. Understanding which pint system applies to your situation is critical—using the wrong conversion can result in recipe failures, incorrect medication dosages, or beverage inconsistencies.
Accurate pint-to-milliliter conversion prevents culinary disasters, ensures proper medication administration, and maintains consistency in beverage production. A single pint difference in pharmaceutical formulations can affect patient safety; in commercial beverage production, incorrect conversions compound across thousands of units, causing significant financial losses and quality control issues.
Professional chefs and recipe developers must convert between pint measurements (common in US and UK recipes) and milliliters (standard in European and metric kitchens). Precision matters significantly when scaling recipes for restaurant production, catering services, or publishing cookbooks internationally. A chef developing a sauce for 50 servings needs exact conversions to maintain flavor profiles and consistency.
Pharmaceutical companies and healthcare facilities must convert pint measurements to milliliters for medication preparation, liquid formulations, and IV fluid administration. Accuracy is literally a matter of patient safety. Dosing errors can have severe consequences, making precise conversion factors non-negotiable in medical settings. Pharmacists and nurses depend on reliable conversions for syrup formulations, injections, and oral medications.

One US pint equals 473.176 milliliters, while one imperial pint equals 568.261 milliliters. The difference exists because the US retained the wine gallon standard (231 cubic inches) while Britain adopted the larger imperial gallon (277.42 cubic inches) in 1824. Always verify which pint system applies to your recipe or measurement context before converting.
Check the recipe's origin: American recipes use US pints (473.176 mL), while UK, Australian, and Canadian recipes use imperial pints (568.261 mL). Modern cookbooks typically specify 'US pint' or 'imperial pint' to avoid confusion. When in doubt, assume US pint for American sources and imperial pint for Commonwealth sources. This distinction is critical—using the wrong system can make recipes fail dramatically.
