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 Quart

Basic facts: The quart [symbol: qt] is a unit of volume in the imperial and United States customary systems of measurement. The term is originated from the Latin “quartus” [meaning one-quarter] through the French “quart”. However, the French word “quart” has the same root, it frequently means something entirely different. There are multiple definitions of the quart. In the United States, a liquid quart is equivalent to around 0.946353 liters and a dry quart is equivalent to around 1.101221 liters. In the United Kingdom, the imperial quart is equivalent to 1.136523. In both the US and UK, the quart is equivalent to 1/4 of its respective gallon.

History: The base of the quart is the gallon, the definition of which has transformed throughout history based on the commodity being referenced. The English wine gallon is the base of the current definition of the United States quart. Up until 1824, this same definition was used for the imperial quart when the United Kingdom re-defined the imperial gallon.

Use: Currently, three kinds of quarts are used – the liquid quart and dry quart of the United States customary system and in the British imperial system – the imperial quart. All are around equal to one liter. So, the versions of the quart are used mainly in the United States and the United Kingdom, though, as a result of metrication in the UK, the use of the liter is now mandated.
