How to convert pints to milliliters
milliliters = pints × 473.176
Example: 2 pt × 473.176 = 946.4 ml.
Multiply US pints by 473.2 to get milliliters (millilitres). Parts of a pint follow the same rule, and each one matches a familiar cup size:
- A quarter pint is 118.3 ml, the same as 1/2 cup.
- Half a pint is 236.6 ml, the same as 1 cup.
- Three quarters of a pint is 354.9 ml, the same as 1 1/2 cups.
Whole pints add up quickly. Five US pints are 2,366 ml and six are 2,839 ml, so switch to liters once you pass a couple of pints. The pints to liters converter handles those larger amounts.
US vs UK pints
A British pint is 568.3 ml, which is 1.201 pt in US measure. The gap is big enough to change a custard, a batter or a pudding, so check which pint a recipe means before you measure.
A recipe that also lists milliliters settles the question. If it only says pints and uses British spelling or grams, assume the imperial size.
| Unit | Size | Used in |
|---|---|---|
| US pint | 473.2 ml | US |
| imperial pint | 568.3 ml | UK |
Following a British recipe that uses pints
A British recipe may call for a quarter, a half or three quarters of a pint. In milliliters, the imperial amounts work out to:
- A quarter pint: 142.1 ml
- Half a pint: 284.1 ml
- Three quarters of a pint: 426.2 ml
- Two pints: 1,137 ml
Measure these in a jug marked in milliliters rather than with US cups. The cups are sized for the smaller US pint, so two of them fall short of a British pint.
Pints and milliliters: questions
Is a pint 500 ml?
No, neither pint is exactly 500 ml. The US pint comes in just under that mark, and the British pint, at 568.3 ml, goes well past it. A 500 ml bottle is the closer match for a US pint.
Is a pint 16 oz or 20 oz?
Both, depending on the country. A US pint is 16 fl oz, or 473.2 ml. A British pint is 20 imp fl oz, or 568.3 ml, because it has more ounces and each imperial ounce is a slightly different size.
How many ml are in 3 pints?
Three US pints hold 1,420 ml, which is 1.42 L. Three imperial pints hold 1,705 ml, a difference of more than a cup. In US cups, three US pints are 6 cups.
How many 250 ml glasses does a pint fill?
A US pint fills 1.9 glasses of 250 ml, so just under two. An imperial pint fills 2.3 of them, a little more than two. Two such glasses need 500 ml, which is more than a US pint and less than a British one.
