About Pint (pt)
A US customary unit of volume equal to exactly 2 US cups, 16 US fluid ounces, or 1/8 of a US gallon (≈ 473.176 mL). Pints are the standard US retail size for beer and craft cider (pint glasses, 'a pint' at a US bar), ice cream (Ben & Jerry's flagship 16 fl oz container is one US pint), berries (the standard clamshell berry container — strawberries, blueberries, raspberries — is one dry US pint, slightly different from the liquid pint at 550.6 mL), heavy cream and half-and-half retail containers, and US homebrew batch sizing. **Important**: the UK (Imperial) pint is larger at exactly 568.261 mL — almost 20% larger than the US pint. A 'pint of beer' in a London pub is meaningfully bigger than in a New York pub. The Australian pint is the same as the UK pint at 568 mL. UK milk in returnable bottles is still sometimes sold in pints. 1 US pt = 2 cups = 16 fl oz = 0.4732 L = 0.8327 UK pt.
About Gallon (US) (gal)
A US customary unit of liquid volume equal to exactly 3.785411784 litres (231 cubic inches by the 1707 Queen Anne wine-gallon definition), or exactly 128 US fluid ounces. The US gallon is the dominant US retail and industrial liquid-volume unit: gasoline pricing and fuel economy (the US EPA window-sticker MPG figures use US gal), milk and beverage retail containers, residential and commercial water heaters (40 / 50 / 75 / 80 gal sizes), swimming-pool and aquarium capacity ratings, US paint and coatings cans, household oil-heat tank sizing, and US-domestic-shipping bulk-liquid descriptors. **Important**: the US gallon ≠ the UK Imperial gallon (4.54609 L = 1.20095 US gal) — a recurring source of confusion in trans-Atlantic fuel-economy comparisons (40 UK mpg = 33.3 US mpg despite identical real efficiency). One US gal of water at 60 °F weighs 8.345 lb. Convert US gal to L by multiplying by 3.7854; to mL by 3,785.4; to fl oz by 128.
