Unit converter
Litres to imperial pints.
Convert L to pt (imp) and pt (imp) to L. Type in either box and the other follows. This uses the imperial pint of 568.261 mL, the pint served in a UK pub. A US pint is 473.176 mL.
| L | pt (imp) |
|---|---|
| 0.5 L | 0.879877 pt (imp) |
| 1 L | 1.75975 pt (imp) |
| 2 L | 3.51951 pt (imp) |
| 3 L | 5.27926 pt (imp) |
| 4 L | 7.03902 pt (imp) |
| 5 L | 8.79877 pt (imp) |
| 10 L | 17.5975 pt (imp) |
| 20 L | 35.1951 pt (imp) |
| 50 L | 87.9877 pt (imp) |
- Conversion goes through m³ in both directions, so neither figure is rounded on the way.
Definitions
- The litre is a thousand cubic centimetres — a cube 10 cm on each side. It is accepted for use with SI but is not itself an SI unit.
- The imperial pint is 568.261 mL — the pint a UK pub pulls. A US liquid pint is only 473.176 mL.
- This conversion is exact by definition. 1 L = 1.759753986 pt (imp).
- US and imperial units of the same name are different sizes. A US pint is 473 mL; an imperial pint is 568 mL. Every unit below says which system it belongs to.
How it works
One direction multiplies and the other divides by the same number, so nothing is lost by going back and forth.
The value passes through m³, the unit every other volume & capacity unit on the site is defined against, rather than a number written into this page on its own. That is why the figure here, the figure in the table above and the general volume & capacity converter always agree.
Display precision sets a maximum number of significant figures and trims trailing zeroes, so it changes what you see and never what was calculated. The editable box always holds a plain number at full working precision, so you can carry on from either side.
Common questions this answers: how many imperial pints in a litre (1.75975), how many litres in a pint (imperial) (0.568261), and what 2 L is in imperial pints (3.51951 pt (imp)).
