Convert pint [pt] to milliliter [mL]
Pint
Definition:A pint (symbol: p) is a unit of volume in the imperial and United States customary systems of units. The imperial pint is equal to approximately 568 mL. In the United States, the liquid pint is approximately 473 mL while the dry pint is 551 mL.
History/origin:Both the US and UK pints were historically defined as 1/8 of a gallon. The difference between the definitions of the US and UK pints arose in 1824 when the UK adopted a new definition of the gallon while the US retained the older English measure of the wine gallon.
Use:The dry and liquid pints are still used in the US as a measurement of volume. Although the process of metrication dictated that the pint be replaced by metric units of volume, it is still legal to use the pint as a supplementary unit in the UK, and certain items such as draught beer, cider, and milk in returnable containers are still measured in terms of pints.
Milliliter
Definition:A milliliter (symbol: mL) is a unit of volume that is accepted for use in the international system of units (SI). One milliliter is equal to 1 cubic centimeter (cm3), 1/1,000,000 cubic meters (m3), or 1/1000 liters.
History/origin:The base unit of the milliliter is the liter (US spelling), spelled "litre" in SI terms. The term "litre" was originally part of the French metric system and was derived from the term "litron," one of the older versions of the French litre. Refer to the liter page for further details.
Use:Milliliters are used to measure the volume of many types of smaller containers in everyday use, such as plastic bottles, cans, drinking, glasses, juice and milk cartons, yogurt, toothpaste tubes, perfume/cologne bottles, etc. Many measurement devices such as graduated cylinders, beakers, pipettes, measurement cups, etc. also use the measurement of milliliters.
