There are three different quarts in use in Britain and the United States, and hence there are three different pints: [i] the U.

S. dry pint, equal to 33.600 cubic inches or approximately 550.611 milliliters; and [iii] the British Imperial pint, equal to 20 British fluid ounces, 34.678 cubic inches or approximately 568.261 milliliters.
