Pint to pound conversion calculator

Our pint to pound conversion is an efficient tool that lets you convert pints to pounds with the option to select from various everyday items, ranging from liquids like water, cooking oil, or milk to fruits, vegetables, and even cereals.

All you have to do is select which category of ingredients you want to convert, pick the specific item from the item list, and input the quantity either in pints or pounds. The rest will be done automatically by our pint to pound conversion tool.

For example, say you want to convert 6 pints of water to pounds in the US system. Our pints to pounds calculator will immediately find that it is equal to approximately 6.26 pounds of water.

But wait, that's not all the tool does! If you want to convert an item that is not available in our list, you can enter the density of the ingredient by selecting the Others from the Convert for option.

We use these liquid measurements mainly for commercial purposes, especially when trading goods. Commodities like oil, water, petrol, and diesel are often required to be traded in globally uniform units, which are the SI units.

How to convert pints to pounds?

A pint is a unit of volume in both imperial and US customary unit systems. Generally, a pint is 1/8th of a gallon or 1/2 of a quart.

Our pint to lb conversion calculator converts your required values in both unit systems and more.

For example, the ratio of pints to pounds for water is:

1 US fluid pint = 1.04318 pounds

1 Imperial pint = 1.2582 pounds

You can convert any value from pint to pound, or vice versa.

Before we move on to the mathematical concepts, remember that density is crucial to this conversion because we calculate from volume to weight.

Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you had to wonder "How many pints are equal to a pound?". Well, now you may follow the steps given below to get your answer. First, we need to find the density in grams per cubic centimeter. Then we can use the equations below:

  • Pints to pounds

    US fluid pint:

    To convert a number of pints to pounds in the US unit system, use the formula:

    Number of pounds = Number of pints × density × 1.04318

    Imperial pint:

    To convert a number of pints to pounds in the imperial system, use the formula:

    Number of pounds = Number of pints × density × 1.2582

  • Pounds to pints

    The pint to pounds conversion can be done both ways, meaning you can also convert the numbers from pound to pint. All that is required is a simple alteration in the formulas above.

    To US fluid pint:
    To convert a number of pounds to pints in the US unit system, use the formula:

    Number of pints = Number of pounds / (density × 1.04318)

    To imperial pint:

    To convert a number of pounds to pints in the imperial system, use the formula:

    Number of pints = Number of pounds / (density × 1.2582)

These formulae are sure to help you the next time when you find yourself in a situation where you need to know how many pints are in an lb.

Since we are converting from volume to weight, we think it would be wise to know more about the volume of objects. So, take a look at our volume calculator.

Pint to lb conversion. How many pints are in a lb?

You may convert pints to other volume measures, but calculating it for a dry item's weight is tricky. In certain situations, it might not even be possible, especially when you want to find pints for substances composed of large elements. In such a case, there is a significant free space between these elements, which we cannot ignore.

The other less complex method is knowing the density of the ingredient you want to do the pint to lb conversion for. So, the question "How many dry pints are in a pound?" can be answered with the following formula:

pint = pound / (1.04318 × density)

The commodities measured in pints are but are not limited to:

  • Ice cream;
  • Cooking oil;
  • Bottled milk;
  • Petrol;
  • Water; and
  • Motor oil.

But all these, and much more, can be converted from pound to pint, and vice versa, using our pint to pound conversion tool. The conversion of commodities is not limited to pints. You may want to convert between quarts and pounds, so give our pounds to quarts conversion calculator a try.
