What is a pint (US) used for?

A US pint is a customary liquid volume unit used for beverages, cooking measurements, and retail packaging of liquids.

What does a ton register measure?

A ton register measures a ship’s internal capacity volume, historically used in maritime commerce and regulatory tonnage.

Is the ton register unit still commonly used?

The ton register is mostly historical and has been replaced internationally by updated tonnage measurement systems since 1969.

What Is This Tool?

This converter transforms quantities from the US pint, a common liquid measurement unit, into the ton register, a large volume unit historically used to quantify ship internal capacity in maritime settings.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the volume value in US pints you wish to convert.
Select the unit 'pint (US)' as the source measurement.
Choose 'ton register' as the target measurement unit.
Click the convert button to see the equivalent ton register volume.

Key Features

Converts from US customary liquid volume (pints) to maritime volume unit (ton register).
Based on official definitions and precise conversion rates.
Supports understanding of historical ship tonnage and maritime documentation.

Examples

Converting 10 US pints results in approximately 0.001671 ton register units.
Converting 100 US pints yields about 0.01671 ton register volume.

Common Use Cases

Translating small liquid volumes into historical maritime ship capacity units.
Researching or interpreting gross and net register tonnage on old ship certificates.
Calculating port fees or canal charges based on legacy tonnage measurements.

Tips & Best Practices

Verify if ton register unit is applicable, as it is largely historical and region-specific.
Use this conversion primarily for archival or specific maritime fee calculations.
Keep in mind that pints measure liquids, while tons register large volumetric spaces.

Limitations

Ton register is mostly a historical measure and replaced internationally in modern contexts.
Direct practical conversion between a small liquid unit and a large maritime volume is uncommon outside specialized uses.
This tool is intended principally for legacy records and maritime archival research.
