What is a US pint (pt US)?

A US pint is a customary liquid volume unit equal to 1/8 of a US gallon or exactly 473.176473 milliliters, commonly used for beverages and culinary purposes.

What does a cord measure?

A cord measures stacked firewood volume, defined as 128 cubic feet (4 ft × 4 ft × 8 ft) or about 3.62 cubic meters.

Can I directly compare pints to cords?

Since pints measure liquid volume and cords measure solid stacked volume, conversions serve mainly for contextual comparisons rather than direct equivalence.
