About Converting Drams per Pint to Grains per Cup
Dram per Pint and Grain per Cup both measure density — mass per unit volume — a property used to identify materials, check manufacturing quality, and predict whether something floats or sinks. As a fixed reference point, water has a density of exactly 1000 kg/m³ (1 g/cm³, 1 g/mL) at its temperature of maximum density, which is why many density figures in science and engineering are quoted relative to water. Both are mass per volume density units.
Formula
grains per cup = drams per pint × 13.671875
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 dram per pint equals 3.74457585365 base units, and 1 grain per cup equals 0.273888976724 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct dram per pint-to-grain per cup factor of 13.671875.
Simple example
1 dr/pt × 13.671875 = 13.671875 gr/cup
1 dram per pint = 13.671875 grains per cup.
Real-world example
1,000 dr/pt × 13.671875 = 13,671.875 gr/cup
1,000 drams per pint = 13,671.875 grains per cup.

Frequently asked questions
How many grains per cup are in 1 dram per pint?
1 dram per pint equals 13.671875 grains per cup, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert dram per pint to grain per cup?
Multiply the dram per pint value by 13.671875. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert grain per cup back to dram per pint?
Use the reverse factor: 1 grain per cup equals 0.0731428571 drams per pint. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a dram per pint?
Dram per Pint (dr/pt) is a unit of density.
What is a grain per cup?
Grain per Cup (gr/cup) is a unit of density.
Is the dram per pint to grain per cup conversion exact?
Yes. Both dram per pint and grain per cup are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 13.671875 used above is exact to as many digits as you choose to display.
What's the difference between density and mass concentration?
Density is the mass of a pure substance or material per unit volume. Mass concentration is the mass of one component — like a dissolved solute — within a mixture's total volume. The two use the same kind of units but describe different physical situations.
