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 Quart (qt)
A US customary unit of volume equal to exactly 2 US pints, 4 US cups, or 1/4 of a US gallon (≈ 946.353 mL). Quarts are a common US retail size for milk and juice cartons (the classic 'quart of milk' US carton), motor oil and other automotive fluids (1 quart bottles are the de-facto US automotive-fluid retail SKU — engine oil, transmission fluid, brake fluid, power steering, coolant), interior paint (consumer paint sample cans are 1 qt; many specialty / craft paints are quart-only), Crock-Pot / slow-cooker capacity ratings (2 qt, 4 qt, 6 qt, 8 qt), and home-canning / preserving (Ball Mason wide-mouth quart jars). A US quart is conveniently almost exactly one litre (~5.4% less), so many internationally-traded products use a single-SKU 1-litre size that satisfies both US quart-equivalent customers and metric markets. **Important**: the UK Imperial quart is 1.1365 L — 20% larger than the US quart. 1 US qt = 32 fl oz = 0.9464 L = 0.8327 UK qt.
