Converting 31.97 pints of corn syrup to pounds gives 46.24 lb. One pint of corn syrup weighs 656g, so 31.97 pints is 31.97 × 656 = 20,972.32g (46.24 lb). This conversion is specific to corn syrup because each ingredient has a different density.
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 Pound?
Pounds are the standard weight unit for buying ingredients in the US. A standard bag of flour is 5 pounds (2,268g) and a standard bag of sugar is 4 pounds (1,814g).
About 46.24 lb, based on corn syrup having a density of 328g per cup. The exact amount depends on how the ingredient is measured and the specific product.
Multiply the number of pints by 656 (grams per pint for corn syrup), then divide by 453.592 to convert grams to pounds. For 31.97 pints: 31.97 × 656 = 20,972.32g, then 20,972.32 ÷ 453.592 = 46.24 lb.
Weighing corn syrup on a kitchen scale is strongly recommended. It is thick and sticky, so it clings to measuring vessels. If you must measure by volume, lightly oil the measuring cup first so it slides out cleanly.
Temperature has a minimal effect on most cooking liquids. The density of corn syrup changes slightly with temperature, but the difference is usually less than 1-2% between refrigerator and room temperature. This conversion assumes room temperature.
Reverse the conversion: 46.24 lb × 453.592 = 20,972.32g, then 20,972.32g ÷ 656 = 31.97 pints. Or use the Pounds to Pints converter.
