What is a pint (UK) used for?

The UK pint is an imperial volume unit used to measure liquids such as draught beer, cider, and milk in the UK and some Commonwealth countries.

What does the ton register measure?

Ton register quantifies internal ship volume, historically used for gross or net register tonnage in commercial and regulatory maritime purposes.

Why convert pint (UK) to ton register?

This conversion helps relate small-scale liquid volume measurements to larger ship capacity metrics, useful for historical ship assessments and maritime regulations.

Key Features

Converts UK pint (pt UK) volumes to ton register (ton reg) units
Useful for maritime, historical, and archival ship capacity measurements
Simple, browser-based unit conversion tool
Supports translating small liquid volumes into large enclosed ship space metrics

Examples

10 pint (UK) equals 0.002006796 ton register
1000 pint (UK) equals 0.2006796 ton register

Common Use Cases

Converting draught beer or cider volumes into equivalent ship capacity units
Analyzing milk quantities in relation to vessel internal volume
Interpreting historical ship register tonnage from fluid volume measurements
Calculating fees or dues based on historical maritime tonnage standards

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure units are correctly selected when entering values
Use for specialized maritime or archival volume analysis
Apply when working with historical ship design or tonnage documents
Remember the ton register is a large volume measure mainly used in older maritime contexts

Limitations

Ton register is a largely historical unit, replaced internationally by modern tonnage measures
Conversions link liquid volume to large enclosed vessel space, so not typical for direct fluid measurement
Accuracy depends on the usage context in maritime or archival assessments
