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 pt (US)

Result = Value in L × 2.11338

Simplified Formula:

Result = Input × 1.2009546811
Where 1.2009546811 is the conversion factor from pt (Imp) to pt (US)

Example Calculation:

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

16 pt (Imp) ÷ 1.75975 = 9.092201 L
9.092201 L × 2.11338 = 19.215275 pt (US)

Result: 16 pt (Imp) = 19.215275 pt (US)
