This page converts drops into US pints using the factor 0.0001056688209, and shows the reverse figure alongside it. Both units measure volume, which is why one number does the whole job.
The metric drop, standardised at 0.05 millilitres, or twenty drops to the millilitre. Half a US quart — note the UK pint is 568 mL, noticeably larger.
US and imperial measures share names and do not share sizes. The imperial gallon is 4.546 L against the US 3.785 L, and the imperial pint is 568 mL against 473 mL. A recipe or fuel figure is 20% out if the wrong gallon is used, so check which side of the Atlantic the number came from. Two tables follow: rounded steps for quick lookup, and a set of real reference quantities converted into US pints, which is usually more useful than the bare number.
