About Converting Cubic Centimeters to Imperial pints
Cubic Centimeter and Imperial pint appear side by side at fuel pumps and on beverage labels, since the US measures liquids in gallons while most of the world uses liters. Specifically: Cubic metric volume unit, and an imperial pint is one eighth of an imperial gallon.
Formula
imperial pints = cubic centimeters × 0.00175975398639
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 cubic centimeter equals 0.000001 base units, and 1 imperial pint equals 0.00056826125 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct cubic centimeter-to-imperial pint factor of 0.00175975398639.
Simple example
1 cm3 × 0.001759753986 = 0.001759754 imp pt
1 cubic centimeter = 0.001759754 imperial pints.
Real-world example
10 cm3 × 0.001759753986 = 0.0175975399 imp pt
10 cubic centimeters = 0.0175975399 imperial pints.

Cubic metric volume unit.
Understanding the Imperial pint
Imperial pint (imp pt) measures volume. The imperial pint is one-eighth of an imperial gallon: exactly 0.56826125 liters — notably the standard UK beer serving size. It is classified as a UK/imperial customary unit.
Where it's used: United Kingdom, Ireland (beer and cider serving is legally defined in imperial pints)
Imperial pint vs. US pint. The imperial pint (568 mL) is about 20% larger than the US pint (473 mL) — a British 'pint of beer' is meaningfully more beer than an American one.
Uses of the Imperial pint today
- UK and Irish pub beer/cider serving (a legally protected serving size)
- UK milk delivery (historically and in some contexts still)
History of the Imperial pint
The imperial pint follows from Britain's 1824 imperial gallon; it remains legally protected as the mandatory serving measure for draught beer and cider in UK and Irish pubs, one of the few contexts where imperial units remain legally mandated in the UK's otherwise largely metric system.
Historical origin. Imperial pint was not the invention of a single named person; it developed through the process described above.
Imperial pint — sources
- UK Weights and Measures Act 1985 — Maintains the imperial pint as the legal draught beer/cider serving measure.
