How Much Is 170 Grams of Water in Pints?
170 grams of water equals 0.36 pt. Water has a density of 236.59g per cup. Because grams measure weight and pints measure volume, the result depends on the ingredient's density.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 170 grams of water
- 1 cup of water = 236.59g
- 170g ÷ 236.59g/cup = 0.72 cups × 0.5 = 0.36 pints
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Liquid densities vary: oils weigh less per cup than water, while syrups and honey weigh more. This is why ingredient-specific conversions matter even for liquids.

Understanding the Units
What is a Gram?
Weighing ingredients in grams eliminates the variability of volume measurements. A cup of flour can weigh anywhere from 120g to 160g depending on how it was scooped, but 120g of flour is always 120g of flour.
What is a Pint?
The pint is one of the most confusing measurements across countries because the difference between US and UK versions is so large. Always check which country a recipe comes from before measuring in pints.
