Method and limitations
To convert US pints to liters, multiply the pint value by 0.473176473. One US pint equals approximately 473 mL. Calculations use full-precision constants; displayed values are rounded to at most 9 significant figures. Results are rounded for display only. Full precision is kept internally, so long chains of conversions do not accumulate rounding error. Where US customary and imperial units share a name (for example fluid ounces and gallons), this page uses the US customary definition and says so explicitly.
Each factor is exact by definition, derived from exact definitions, or a documented conventional value — see the methodology and sources.
