Facts about Pint
Basic facts: A pint [symbol: pt, sometimes abbreviated as p] is a unit of volume and capacity in the United States customary and the imperial units’ systems. In both of mentioned systems, it is traditionally one-eighth of a gallon. The imperial pint is equivalent to around 568 mL. The liquid pint is about 473 mL in the United States, while the dry pint is 551 mL. The British imperial pint is approximately 20% larger than the American pint because the two systems are defined differently.
History: Pint originated from the Old French word “pinte” and possibly eventually from Vulgar Latin “pincta” which means “painted”, for marks painted on the side of a container to indicate capacity. As already mentioned, both the US and UK pints were historically defined as 1/8 of a gallon. In 1824, the difference between the definitions of the United States and United Kingdom pints appeared when the UK adopted a new definition of the gallon while the US maintained the older English measure of the wine gallon.
Use: The dry and liquid pints are still used in the U.S. as a measurement of volume, however, the process of metrication dictated that the pint be replaced by metric units of volume, it is still legal to use the pint as a supplementary unit in the UK, and certain items such as draught beer, milk and cider, in returnable containers are still measured in terms of pints.
Facts about Fluid Ounce
Basic facts: A fluid ounce [symbol: fl oz] is a unit of volume in the United States customary and imperial systems of measurement. The United States fluid ounce is 1/16 of a US fluid pint, 1/128 of a US liquid gallon, which is equivalent to 29.57 mL. The imperial fluid ounce is 1/20 of an imperial pint, and 1/160 of an imperial gallon, which is equivalent to 28.4 mL.
History: The fluid ounce was initially based on the volume occupied by one ounce [weight] of a given liquid like water or wine, accordingly varying based on the system being used. In 1824, the imperial gallon was represented as the volume of ten pounds of water at a temperature of 16.7°C. The definition of the imperial gallon was later changed to be equivalent to 4.54609 liters, which made the imperial fluid ounce equivalent to exactly 28.4130625 mL.
Initially, the United States fluid ounce was based on the wine gallon used in England before 1824. In 1959 after the adoption of the international inch, the U.S. fluid ounce became equivalent to exactly 29.5735295625 mL.
Use: As the name shows, the fluid ounce is generally used as a measurement of liquid volume. As one of the many measurements of volume, it is mainly used in the United States and the United Kingdom.
