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 Cup (unit)

Basic facts: The cup (unit) is a measure of volume in cooking in the United States customary and imperial systems of measurement. The metric cup is represented as 250 milliliters. 1 US customary cup is equivalent to 236.5882365 milliliters as well as 1/16 US customary gallons, 8 US customary fluid ounces, 16 US customary tablespoons, or 48 U.S. customary teaspoons.

Use: As mentioned above, the cup (unit) is commonly used in cooking to measure liquids and bulk foods, often on the subject of serving sizes [serving size, also known as the portion size is the amount of a drink or food that is commonly served]. In terms of size, actual drinking cups can differ significantly and are generally not a good indication of this unit. Instead, standardized measuring cups are used.
