Quick Summary: There are 473 ml in 1 US pint and 568 ml in 1 UK (imperial) pint. To convert pints to milliliters, multiply US pints by 473.18 or imperial pints by 568.26. So a half pint = 237 ml (US), 2 pints = 946 ml (US), and 4 pints = 1,893 ml (US). For a related conversion, see how many ml in a quart.

Milliliters and pints
Milliliters and pints are both units of volume used to measure wet ingredients.
A milliliter (abbreviated as ml) is a unit of volume in the International System of Units (SI).
The term originated from "litre," emanating from the old French word "litron."
One milliliter equals 1 cubic centimeter, 1/1,000,000 cubic meters, or 1/1000 liters.
A liquid pint is a volume unit in the US customary and Imperial system. But don't confuse a US fluid pint with a dry pint, a weight measurement, and an Imperial pint (aka British pint).
So what is a pint value?
1 US fluid pint = 0.125 US gallon, 0.5 US quart, 16 US fl oz, 1.97 US cup, 32 US tablespoons, or 96 US teaspoons.
1 Imperial pint = 0.125 Imperial gallons, 0.5 Imperial quarts, 20 Imperial fl oz, 2 Imperial cups, 32 Imperial tablespoons, or 96 Imperial teaspoons.
US pint vs. imperial (UK) pint
The main reason the numbers differ is that a US liquid pint and an imperial (UK) pint are not the same size. A US liquid pint holds 473 ml (16 US fluid ounces), while an imperial pint holds 568 ml (20 imperial fluid ounces). That makes the UK pint about 20 percent larger than the US pint.
The gap goes back to the two systems using different base units. When the United Kingdom set its imperial standards in 1824, it defined the pint as 20 fluid ounces, whereas the older US customary system kept the pint at 16 fluid ounces. So when a recipe or drink lists a pint in milliliters, check whether it follows US or UK measurements.
There is also a less common US dry pint, used for produce such as berries, which equals about 551 ml. Unless a recipe specifies dry ingredients by volume, the 473 ml liquid pint is the one you will use most in the kitchen.
Is 375 ml or 750 ml a pint?
No, neither is exactly a pint, though both are common bottle sizes people compare to one. A 375 ml bottle equals about 0.79 of a US pint (or 0.66 of an imperial pint), which is why it is sometimes loosely called a "half pint" in the spirits world, even though a true US half pint is 237 ml.
A 750 ml bottle, the standard wine and spirits size, equals about 1.59 US pints (or 1.32 imperial pints), so it is a little more than a pint and a half. For reference, 200 ml is roughly 0.42 US pints.

How to convert pints to milliliters (pt to ml)
To convert US liquid pints to milliliters, multiply the number of pints by 473.176473, where 473.176473 is a conversion factor.
Here is a conversion formula:
milliliters = pints × 473.176473.
To convert Imperial pints to milliliters, multiply the number of pints by 568.261:
milliliters = pints × 568.261.
Let's have a look at a practical example.
How many ml in 2 pints (2 pints to ml)
2 pt x 473.176473 = 946.352946 ml, so the conversion result is
946.35 milliliters in 2 US liquid pints.
Using the Imperial measurements,
2 pt Imperial x 568.261 = 1,136.522 ml, so
there are 1,136.522 milliliters in 2 Imperial pints.
How many pints in ml
1 milliliter to pints (ml to pints)
How many pints in ml?
1 ml = 0.002113 pt (US system). So there are 0.002113 pints in a milliliter.
How many Imperial pints are in ml?
1 ml = 0.00175975 pt Imperial (Imperial system). So there are 0.00175975 Imperial pints in ml.

How to convert milliliters to pints
To convert milliliters to US liquid pints, multiply the number of milliliters by 0.002113:
pints = milliliters × 0.002113.
To convert milliliters to British units - Imperial pints, multiply the number of milliliters by 0.00175975:
imp pint = milliliters × 0.00175975.
Let's have a look at an example.
How many pints in 2 ml
2 ml x 0.002113 = 0.004226 pt. So there are 0.004226 pints in 2 milliliters (US system).
2 ml x 0.00175975 = 0.0035195 pt. So there are 0.0035195 Imperial pints (aka English pints) in 2 milliliters (Imperial system).
How many ml in a pint of beer
The beer dimensions cause a lot of confusion because they depend on where you are. In the United States, beer measures are standardized by volume, and a US pint of beer equals 473 milliliters.
In Great Britain and Ireland, though, there is a different system for measuring alcoholic beverages. The Imperial pint, which equals 568 milliliters, is more than the US counterparts.
So when ordering beers in the UK, expect bigger pints, but also half- or third-pints are available.
In Australia, you can order beer by the Imperial pint or schooner, which is about 425 milliliters. But if it is too much for you, ask for a pot of beer equal to 285 milliliters.
When traveling to Quebec, Canada, be cautious about the language you use when ordering a beer.
"A pint of beer" in English means 568 ml, while "une pinte de bière" in French gives an Imperial quart with 1136 milliliters worth.
The rest of the world uses the metric system, where half a liter of beer is one of the most common serving sizes.
But get ready to get the Maß in a German bar, a full liter, which is a standard mug size. If you want to order less, ask for a half-liter.
How many ml in half a pint?
There are 237 ml in a half pint in the US, since a US liquid pint is 473 ml and half of that rounds to 237 ml (236.59 ml to be exact). In the UK, a half pint is larger at 284 ml, because an imperial pint is 568 ml.
To work it out yourself, just divide the full pint value by two: 473.18 ml / 2 = 236.59 ml for a US half pint, and 568.26 ml / 2 = 284.13 ml for an imperial half pint. A half-pint glass in a bar follows the same figures, so a US half pint holds 237 ml and a UK half pint holds 284 ml.
