Convert pt to fl oz: common questions

How many US fluid ounces are in a us pint?

Exactly 16. One us pint is 16 US fluid ounces, and the box above will do it for any figure you type.

Is this conversion exact, or rounded?

The ratio is exact. It is not a rounded constant typed into a table: it is derived from the definitions of the two units, so it agrees with any other correct converter to as many digits as you care to compare.

Why does another converter show a slightly different number?

Almost always rounding rather than disagreement. Many converters cut the answer to two or four decimals, and some carry a factor that was rounded before the multiplication rather than after. The figures here are computed from the exact definitions and only rounded on the way to the screen.

Where these figures come from

The claims this page makes about volume units are checkable, and these are the documents that settle them.

How this page works
