About Liter
The liter is a metric unit equal to one cubic decimeter (0.001 m³). Science, global food labeling, and most countries’ everyday volumes use liters.
About Pint (US)
The US liquid pint is half a US liquid quart (about 0.47318 liters). US recipes and dairy containers often use pints.
How to convert liters to pints (us)
1 liter is equal to 2.11337641886519 pint (us):
1 l = (1 L ÷ 0.473176473 L) pt = 2.11337641886519 pt
Each liter is defined as 1 L and each pint (us) as 0.473176473 L, so one l equals 1 ÷ 0.473176473 pt = 2.11337641886519 pt.
Let V(l) be the numeric value of the same volume measured in Liter (l), and V(pt) the value in Pint (US) (pt). Then:
V(pt) = V(l) × (1 / 0.473176473)
Equivalently, divide by how many l fit into one pt (liters per pt divided by liters per l):
V(pt) = V(l) ÷ 0.473176473
Or: pint (us) = liter ÷ 0.473176473
Examples
Example #1: Convert 20 l to pint (us)
20 l = 20 l × (1/0.473176473) pt = 42.2675283773 pt
20 l = 20 l ÷ 0.473176473 = 42.2675283773 pt
Example #2: Convert 50 l to pint (us)
50 l = 50 l × (1/0.473176473) pt = 105.668820943 pt
50 l = 50 l ÷ 0.473176473 = 105.668820943 pt
Summary
To convert Liter to Pint (US), multiply the value in l by the ratio of liters per l divided by liters per pt. Equivalently: value_pt = value_l × (1 / 0.473176473). Numerically, 1 l equals 2.1133764188651876 pt.
Relationship context
You are converting between metric (SI) (Liters) and US customary fluid / volume (Pints (US)). US and UK fluid measures differ (gallons, ounces, tablespoons); metric liters and cubic meters align with SI. The numeric factor used here is 2.113376e+0.
