The deciliter (dL) is a metric unit of volume equal to one-tenth of a liter, used in medical lab reports and some European recipes. Blood test results in many countries express cholesterol and glucose levels in milligrams per deciliter, making this unit familiar to anyone reviewing health data. One deciliter equals exactly 100 milliliters or roughly 3.381 fluid ounces.

The US pint (pt) is an imperial volume unit equal to one-eighth of a US gallon or approximately 0.4732 liters, best known for sizing beer glasses and ice cream containers in America. The phrase 'a pint is a pound the world around' captures its colloquial significance, though a pint of water actually weighs about 1.043 pounds. One US pint equals exactly 16 US fluid ounces.
