About Converting Pints to Cubic Centimeters
Pint and Cubic Centimeter 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. Pint is most often used for us beer and beverage serving sizes.
Formula
cubic centimeters = pints × 473.176473
This factor comes from each unit's defined relationship to the category's base unit: 1 pint equals 0.000473176473 base units, and 1 cubic centimeter equals 0.000001 base units, so dividing one by the other gives the direct pint-to-cubic centimeter factor of 473.176473.
Simple example
1 pt × 473.176473 = 473.176473 cm3
1 pint = 473.176473 cubic centimeters.
Real-world example
10 pt × 473.176473 = 4,731.76473 cm3
10 pints = 4,731.76473 cubic centimeters.
