How the Conversion Works

This calculator uses a two-step conversion process through liters (L) as the base unit, which is the standard unit of volume in the International System of Units (SI).

Conversion Formula:

Step 1: Convert from pt (Imp) to liters (L)

Value in L = Input value ÷ 1.75975

Step 2: Convert from liters (L) to gal (Imp)

Result = Value in L × 0.219969

Simplified Formula:

Result = Input × 0.1250001421
Where 0.1250001421 is the conversion factor from pt (Imp) to gal (Imp)

Example Calculation:

Let's convert 16 pt (Imp) to gal (Imp):

16 pt (Imp) ÷ 1.75975 = 9.092201 L
9.092201 L × 0.219969 = 2.000002 gal (Imp)

Result: 16 pt (Imp) = 2.000002 gal (Imp)
