How Much Is 1 Pint of Water in Grams?
1 pint of water weighs 473.18 g. This is based on water having a density of 236.59g per cup. Because pints measure volume and grams measure weight, the result depends on the ingredient, and a different ingredient would give a different result for the same 1 pint.
Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 1 pint of water
- 1 pint of water = 473.18g
- 1 × 473.18 = 473.18g
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Mental Math Shortcut
For 1 pint of water, just remember: 473.18g. Double it for 2 pints (946.36g), halve it for a half pint (236.59g).
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 Pint?
US and UK pints are very different sizes. A US pint is 473 ml while a UK (imperial) pint is 568 ml, making the UK pint about 20% larger. A "pint of milk" in a British recipe is significantly more than in an American recipe.
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.
