A standard US recipe cup of water is about 237 mL. Most US recipes call for cups; weighing in grams is more reliable. In US pints, that gives you: 1 cup = 0.5 pt, 10 cup = 5 pt, 100 cup = 50 pt.
The US legal cup, as used in nutrition labels, equals exactly 240 mL; the US customary cup, used in recipes, equals 236.5882365 mL (half a US liquid pint, or 8 US fluid ounces). Convertitive uses the customary value, which matches how most US cookbooks specify quantities. UK and Australian metric cups are 250 mL — yet another small but consequential difference.
The US liquid pint equals exactly 473.176473 mL, defined as 1/8 of a US gallon. The imperial pint (UK) is 568.26125 mL — about 20% larger, which is why a 'pint of beer' in London is noticeably bigger than the same in New York.
