Conversion accuracy relies on exact volume definitions; simplified constants may cause rounding differences
-
Cubic millimeter units may be too small and cumbersome for regular liquid volume measurements without scientific tools
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What exactly 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.
-
Why use cubic millimeters to measure volume?
-
Cubic millimeters provide a very precise metric volume measurement useful in microfluidics, biology, and precision engineering.
-
Can I use this conversion for UK pints?
-
No, the US pint is different from the UK pint, so you should verify the unit before converting.
