About Converting Drams per Teaspoon to Milligrams per Pint
Dram per Teaspoon and Milligram per Pint 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
milligrams per pint = drams per teaspoon × 170097.13875
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 dram per teaspoon equals 359.479281951 base units, and 1 milligram per pint equals 0.00211337641887 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct dram per teaspoon-to-milligram per pint factor of 170097.13875.
Simple example
1 dr/tsp × 170097.1388 = 170,097.1388 mg/pt
1 dram per teaspoon = 170,097.1388 milligrams per pint.
Real-world example
1,000 dr/tsp × 170097.1388 = 170,097,138.8 mg/pt
1,000 drams per teaspoon = 170,097,138.8 milligrams per pint.

Frequently asked questions
How many milligrams per pint are in 1 dram per teaspoon?
1 dram per teaspoon equals 170,097.1388 milligrams per pint, using the exact defined conversion factor rather than an estimate.
How do I convert dram per teaspoon to milligram per pint?
Multiply the dram per teaspoon value by 170097.1388. The converter above does this instantly to whatever precision you set.
How do I convert milligram per pint back to dram per teaspoon?
Use the reverse factor: 1 milligram per pint equals 0.000005879 drams per teaspoon. You can also use the swap control in the converter above to flip the direction instantly.
What is a dram per teaspoon?
Dram per Teaspoon (dr/tsp) is a unit of density.
What is a milligram per pint?
Milligram per Pint (mg/pt) is a unit of density.
Is the dram per teaspoon to milligram per pint conversion exact?
Yes. Both dram per teaspoon and milligram per pint are defined by fixed standards rather than physical artifacts, so the factor of 170097.1388 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.
