The pint (, heed(help·info) ; symbol pt,^{[1] [two]} sometimes abbreviated equally p ^[iii]) is a unit of volume or chapters in both the majestic and Usa customary measurement systems. In both of those systems it is traditionally one eighth of a gallon. The British imperial pint is nigh 20% larger than the American pint because the two systems are divers differently. Nigh all other countries have standardized on the metric system, so although some of them still likewise accept traditional units chosen pints (such equally for beverages), the volume varies by regional custom.

The majestic pint (≈ 568 mL) is used in the United Kingdom and Ireland and to a limited extent in Democracy nations. In the U.s.a., two kinds of pint are used: a liquid pint (≈ 473 mL) and a less-common dry out pint (≈ 551 mL). All of the other former British colonies, such equally Canada, Commonwealth of australia, South Africa and New Zealand, converted to the metric system in the 1960s and 1970s; so, while the term pint may still exist in mutual utilise in these countries, it may no longer refer to the British majestic pint once used throughout the British Empire.

Since the majority of countries in the world no longer use American or British royal units, and most are non-English speaking, a "pint of beer" served in a tavern outside the United Kingdom and the Us may exist measured by other standards. In Republic countries it may exist a British imperial pint of 568 mL, in countries serving large numbers of American tourists it might be a US liquid pint of 473 mL, in many metric countries it is a half-litre of 500 mL, or in some places it is some other measure out reflecting national and local laws and customs.^[four]

Name [edit]

Farther data: pint

Pint comes from the Old French word pinte and maybe ultimately from Vulgar Latin pincta pregnant "painted", for marks painted on the side of a container to show capacity.^[5] It is linguistically related, though greatly diverging in meaning, to Pinto – an Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese name for a person with a speckled or dark complexion, often used every bit a surname in these languages.

The United States dry pint is equal to i eighth of a United States dry out gallon. It is used in the United states of america, but is not as common as the liquid pint.

A now-obsolete unit of measurement of measurement in Scotland, known equally the Scottish pint, or joug, is equal to 1696 mL (2 pints 19.69 imp fl oz). It remained in use until the 19th century, surviving significantly longer than almost of the old Scottish measurements.

The word pint is one of numerous false friends betwixt English and French. They are non the same unit although they have the same linguistic origin. The French word pinte is etymologically related, but historically described a larger unit. The Royal pint (pinte du roi) was 48 French cubic inches (952.one mL),^[seven] merely regional pints varied in size depending on locality and on article (normally wine or olive oil) varying from 0.95 L to over 2 Fifty.^[7]

In Canada, the Weights and Measures Human action (R.S. 1985) defines a pint in English as 1/8 of a gallon, but defines a pinte in French as one/four of a gallon.^[8] Thus, if you speak English language and order "a pint of beer", servers are legally required to serve you 568 mL of beer,^[9] merely if you speak French and social club "une pinte de bière", they are legally required to serve an royal quart (une pinte), which is 1136 mL, or twice equally much.^[ten] To club an imperial pint when speaking French in Canada, i must instead order une chopine de bière.^[11]

In Flanders, the word pintje, meaning 'trivial pint', refers only to a 250 mL glass of lager. Some West- and East-Flemish dialects employ it equally a discussion for beaker. The equivalent word in German, Pintchen, refers to a glass of a 3rd of a litre in Cologne and the Rhineland.

In South Australia, ordering "a pint of beer" results in 425 mL (15 fl oz) beingness served. Customers must specifically request "an Imperial pint of beer" to go 570 mL (20 fl oz). Australians from other states often contest the size of their beers in Adelaide.^[12]

Equivalence [edit]

I US liquid pint of h2o weighs 1.04318 pounds (sixteen.6909 oz), which gives ascension to a popular saying: "A pint's a pound, the world around".^[13]

However, the statement does not hold around the earth considering the British royal pint, which was also the standard measure out in Australia, India, Malaya, New Zealand, S Africa and other former British colonies, weighs 1.2528 pounds (twenty.0448 oz), giving ascension to the origin of a popular saying used in Commonwealth countries: "a pint of pure water weighs a pound and a quarter".^[fourteen]

History [edit]

The pint is traditionally ane eighth of a gallon. In the Latin of the apothecaries' arrangement, the symbol O ( octavius or octarius ; plural octavii or octarii – reflecting the "8th" concept in its octa- syllable) was used for the pint.^[15] Considering of the diverseness of definitions of a gallon, there have been as many versions of the pint.

U.k.'south North American colonies adopted the British wine gallon, defined in 1707 as 231 cubic inches exactly (iii in × seven in × 11 in) equally their basic liquid measure, from which the US wet pint is derived; and the British corn gallon ( 1⁄8 of a standard "Winchester" bushel of corn, or 268.8 cubic inches) every bit its dry measure out, from which the United states dry out pint is derived.

In 1824, the British parliament replaced all the various gallons with a new royal gallon based on x pounds of distilled water at 62 °F (16.667 °C) (277.42 cubic inches), from which the current Britain pint is derived.

The various Canadian provinces continued to utilise the Queen Anne Winchester vino gallon as a basis for their pint until 1873, well after Britain adopted the purple organisation in 1824. This made the Canadian pint compatible with the American pint, merely after 1824 it was incompatible with the British pint. The traditional French pinte used in Lower Canada (Quebec) was twice the size of the traditional English "pint" used in Upper Canada (Ontario), about 1 litre versus 0.5 litres. After iv of the British provinces united in the Canadian Confederation in 1867, Canada legally adopted the British regal organisation of measure in 1873, making Canadian liquid units incompatible with American ones from that year forward.^[sixteen] In 1873, the French Canadian pinte was defined as existence ane royal quart or two imperial pints, while the imperial pint was legally called a chopine in French Canada. Canadian purple units of liquid measure out remain incompatible with American traditional units to this day, and although the Canadian pint, quart, and gallon are withal legal units of measure in Canada, they are still 20% larger than the American ones.

Historically, units called a pint (or the equivalent in the local language) were used across much of Europe, with values varying betwixt countries from less than half a litre to over one litre. Within continental Europe, these pints were replaced with liquid measures based on the metric system during the 19th century. The term is still in limited use in parts of France, where une pinte means an majestic quart, which is 2 purple pints, whereas a pint is une chopine —and Primal Europe, notably some areas of Germany^[17] and Switzerland, where ein Schoppen is colloquially used for roughly half a litre. In Spanish vacation resorts frequented past British tourists, 'pint' is frequently taken to mean a beer glass (particularly a dimple mug). Half-pint 285 mL, and pint mugs , 570 mL, may therefore be referred to as media jarra ('half jar/jug') and jarra (grande) ('large jar/jug').^{[ commendation needed ]}

Furnishings of metrication [edit]

Pints are commonly used for the sale of milk in the Great britain. The label gives both the metric and the imperial volume.

In the British and Irish metrication processes, the pint was replaced past metric units as the legally divers primary unit of measurement of measure for trading by book or capacity, except for the sale of draught beer and cider, and milk in returnable containers.^{[18] [19]} The pint for these specific purposes is considered to be 568.3 mL in EU directive 80/181/EER.^[xx] As a supplementary unit, the pint can still be used in those countries in all circumstances. United kingdom of great britain and northern ireland legislation mandates that draught beer and cider must exist sold in a 3rd of a pint, 2 thirds of a pint or multiples of half a pint, which must exist served in stamped, measured spectacles or from government-stamped meters. For milk, if returnable containers are used, the pint tin can yet be the principal unit of measurement used, however all other goods sold by book must exist sold past metric. Milk in returnable containers is considered a loose good instead of a packaged skillful, equally information technology is sold by volume. Milk in plastic containers come in ane pint sizes, merely are required to display the metric equivalent on packaging.^[21] Recipes published in the UK and Ireland volition have given ingredient quantities in imperial, where the pint is used as a unit for larger liquid quantities, equally well equally the metric measure out - though recipes written at present are more likely to use metric units.^{[22] [23]}

In Commonwealth of australia and New Zealand, a subtle change was made to 1-pint milk bottles during the conversion from royal to metric in the 1970s. The meridian and diameter of the milk bottle remained unchanged, so that existing equipment for handling and storing the bottles was unaffected, but the shape was adjusted to increase the capacity from 568 mL to 600 mL—a conveniently rounded metric measure. Such milk bottles are no longer officially referred to as pints. Withal, the "pint drinking glass" in pubs in Commonwealth of australia remains closer to the standard imperial pint, at 570 mL. Information technology holds about 500 mL of beer and about seventy mL of barm, except in S Australia, where a pint is served in a 425 mL glass and a 570 mL drinking glass is called an "imperial pint". In New Zealand, there is no longer any legal requirement for beer to be served in standard measures: in pubs, the largest size of glass, which is referred to every bit a pint, varies, simply usually contains 425 mL.^[24]

Subsequently metrication in Canada, companies sold milk and other liquids in metric units so conversion issues could no longer arise. Typhoon beer in Canada, when advertised as a "pint", is legally required to be 568 mL (20 fluid ounces).^{[25] [26]} With the allowed margin of error of 0.5 fluid ounces, a "pint" that is less than 554 mL of beer is an offence, though this regulation is often violated and rarely enforced.^[27] To avoid legal problems, many drinking establishments are moving away from using the term "pint" and are selling "glasses" or "sleeves" of beer, neither of which have a legal definition.^[28]

A 375 mL bottle of liquor in the United states and the Canadian maritime provinces is sometimes referred to as a "pint" and a 200 mL canteen is chosen a "half-pint", harking dorsum to the days when liquor came in US pints, fifths, quarts, and half-gallons.^[29] Liquor in the US has been sold in metric-sized bottles since 1980 although beer is still sold in US traditional units.^[30]

In France, a standard 250 mL mensurate of beer is known equally united nations demi ("a one-half"), originally pregnant a half-pint.
