Cup (US) to Pint (US) (US cup to US pt)
Result
0.5 Pint (US)
Formula
US pt = US cup × 0.5
1 US cup = 0.5 US pt, and 1 US pt = 2 US cup.
The litre is exactly 1 dm³ (0.001 m³). The US gallon is defined as 231 cubic inches, which makes it exactly 3.785411784 L; quarts, pints, cups and fluid ounces are fixed fractions of it.
Worked examples
- 1 US cup × 0.5 = 0.5 US pt
- 10 US cup × 0.5 = 5 US pt
- 100 US cup × 0.5 = 50 US pt
Common mistakes
- US and UK (imperial) measures share names but not sizes: the imperial gallon is 4.54609 L (20% larger), the imperial pint 568 mL and the imperial fluid ounce 28.41 mL.
- This converter uses US customary volumes. A US cup is 236.59 mL, a metric cup 250 mL, and US nutrition labels round a cup to 240 mL.
- US dry measures (dry pint, bushel) are a separate system and are not the same as liquid pints.
