About Cubic Inch to US Pint Conversion

Converting cubic inch to us pint comes up frequently in cooking, chemistry, medicine, and engineering. A recipe written in metric units may need to be adapted for a kitchen using us pint, or a laboratory protocol may specify volumes in cubic inch that need to be measured with equipment calibrated in us pint.

In everyday use, knowing that 5 in³ = 0.1732 pt and 10 in³ = 0.3463 pt covers most common situations. For bulk calculations, 100 in³ = 3.463 pt is a useful anchor. The reverse conversion — us pint back to cubic inch — uses the factor 28.87, so 1 pt = 28.87 in³.

All conversions use the internationally recognized factor of exactly 1 in³ = 0.03463 pt. Calculations are performed in IEEE 754 double-precision floating point, giving accuracy to at least 8 significant figures — more than sufficient for any practical application.

Quick Answer

Formula: US Pint = Cubic Inch × 0.034632145

Multiply any cubic inch value by 0.034632145 to get us pint. One cubic inch equals 0.034632145 pt.

Reverse: Cubic Inch = US Pint × 28.874908

Worked Examples

One cubic inch
1 in³ × 0.034632145 = 0.034632145 pt
1 in³ = 0.03463 US pints.
One US pint
28.875 in³ × 0.034632145 = 1.0000032 pt
28.875 in³ = 1 US pint.
One US gallon
231 in³ × 0.034632145 = 8.0000256 pt
231 in³ = 8 pints = 1 gallon.
One US quart
57.75 in³ × 0.034632145 = 2.0000064 pt
57.75 in³ = 2 pints = 1 quart.

Frequently Asked Questions

About Cubic Inch and US Pint

Cubic Inch (in³)

The cubic inch is the volume of a cube with one-inch sides, equal to exactly 16.387064 mL. It belongs to US customary and British Imperial systems, in practical use since the 17th century.

Cubic inches appear most often in engine displacement for small engines and in precision machining for material volume calculations.

Interesting fact: A standard 12-fluid-ounce US soda can has a volume of about 21.7 cubic inches.

US Pint (pt)

The US liquid pint is one-eighth of a US gallon, exactly 16 fluid ounces or 473.176 mL. Its name comes from Old French pinte. The pint has been a standard tavern measure since at least the 14th century.
