The "US pint" is a unit of volume commonly used in the United States, primarily for measuring liquids. It is equal to 16 fluid ounces, or approximately 473.18 milliliters. The US pint is often used in the context of beverages, such as beer and milk, and is a standard measurement in recipes. In contrast to the US pint, the "imperial pint" used in the United Kingdom is slightly larger, measuring 20 fluid ounces or about 568.26 milliliters. Understanding the difference between these two measurements is important for accurate cooking and beverage serving, especially when dealing with international recipes or products.
