Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is a UK pint compared to a US pint?
-
The UK pint, or imperial pint, is larger than the US liquid pint, equal to exactly 568.26125 millilitres, while the US pint is smaller so using the correct pint is important for accurate conversions.
-
Can I use this converter for measuring engine volumes?
-
Yes, since cubic centimeters are standard for engine displacement, converting from pint (UK) can assist in understanding volume in metric terms relevant to engines and motorcycles.
-
Is the cubic centimeter the same as a milliliter?
-
Yes, one cubic centimeter (cc or cm³) is exactly equal to one milliliter (mL), making cc a convenient metric unit for liquid volumes.
Key Terminology
-
Pint (UK) [pt (UK)]
-
