No, the UK pint is larger, defined as 568.26125 millilitres, unlike the smaller US liquid pint.

Why convert ton register to pint (UK)?

This conversion helps relate large maritime volume measurements to liquid capacities commonly used in the UK, aiding understanding of ship hold volumes in everyday liquid units.

What Is This Tool?

This converter changes volumes from ton register, an old maritime unit used to express a ship's internal capacity, into UK pints, an imperial measure of liquid volume commonly used in the UK and some Commonwealth countries.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the volume in ton register units you want to convert.
Select ton register [ton reg] as the original unit.
Choose pint (UK) [pt (UK)] as the target unit for conversion.
Click the convert button to see the equivalent volume in UK pints.
Use the converted value for maritime, retail, or other volume assessments.

Key Features

Converts ton register volumes to UK pint measurements accurately.
Supports maritime and historical ship design volume conversions.
Useful for interpreting large ship volume data into familiar liquid units.
Browser-based and easy to use without software installation.
Ideal for archival research, regulatory, and retail volume contexts.

Examples

2 ton register equals 9966.1367 pint (UK).
0.5 ton register equals 2491.5342 pint (UK).

Common Use Cases

Converting vessel internal volume measurements from maritime records to pints for clearer understanding.
Calculating volumes when analyzing older ship plans or historical tonnage certificates.
Translating ship hold capacity to liquid volume metrics used in UK hospitality or retail contexts.
Supporting archival research that requires legacy volume unit interpretation.
Assisting in fee calculation where old ton register volumes are still referenced.

Tips & Best Practices

Confirm the context of volume measurements to ensure using the correct unit system.
Remember that ton register is an outdated maritime unit mainly for historical data.
Distinguish UK pint from US liquid pint to avoid misinterpretation in conversion results.
Use this tool primarily for legacy maritime volumes or converting to UK liquid volumes.
Cross-check conversions if used for regulatory or commercial purposes to ensure accuracy.

Limitations

Ton register is largely obsolete and replaced by newer international tonnage measures.
UK pint differs from US pint, so this conversion may not apply in US customary contexts.
The large conversion ratio reflects a substantial volume difference, which can be unintuitive without background.
Intended mainly for archival, historical, or regional conversions rather than everyday volume use.
