Volume is the category where the US and imperial systems diverge most damagingly. Gallons, quarts, pints and fluid ounces all exist in two sizes that differ by up to 20%, and nothing in the name warns you which one a figure uses. Recipes, fuel economy figures and container capacities all cross borders regularly, so it is worth checking which system a source is using before converting rather than after.

To go the other way, use milliliter = us pint ÷ 0.00211338.
About these units
A millilitre is exactly one cubic centimetre. Because one millilitre of water weighs one gram, the unit doubles as a rough mass measure in the kitchen.
A US pint is 473 millilitres and an imperial pint is 568 — a difference of nearly 20%, which is why a British pint of beer is visibly larger than an American one.
Milliliter is also written millilitre, millilitres, milliliters and cc. US Pint is also written pints and pnt.
