Note that Cliff Shaw's conversion factor is for US liquid pints (obviously
our UK friends would get the wrong answer if they assumed that this was for
Imperial measure).
The CRC Handbook of Chemistry and Physics gives the following conversions:
To convert from to units of multiply by
cu cm pints (US liquid) 0.0021133764 (the
reciprocal of 473.2)
cu cm quarts (US liquid) 0.0010566882
cu cm quarts (British) 0.0008798775
but for some reason the handbook doesn't mention British pints (which this
Yank presumes to be 1/2 of a British quart, ergo, multiply cu cm by
0.001759755).
It sure would be nice if the clowns in Congress did something useful like
mandate SI units (that's metric to you non-technical types) for the US.

Subject: Conversions pt or qt to cc
Hi,
I'm about to cover the fuselage with UV Smooth Prime. The stuff needs to
be crosslinked. Now, the manual shows the amount of crosslinker (in
cubic centimeter) to be added to the smooth Prime. However, for the
smooth prime the give volumes in qt and pt - and I have no idea of how
much that is in my available measurement tools (all in cc or liters).
Does somebody know the conversion factors?
Up to now I only know how many pt of beer I have to drink to get really
drunk :-)
