5 pt equals approximately 2.365 ml.
To convert points (pt) to milliliters (ml), we use the conversion factor where 1 pt is equal to 0.4732 ml. Therefore, multiplying the number of points by 0.4732 gives the volume in ml. For 5 pt, this means 5 times 0.4732, resulting in about 2.365 ml.
Conversion Result
Converting 5 pt to ml yields roughly 2.365 ml. This conversion is useful when measuring liquids that are specified in points but need to be expressed in milliliters for precise recipes or measurements.

Conversion Formula
The conversion from pt to ml is based on the fact that 1 point equals 0.4732 milliliters. The formula multiplies the number of points by 0.4732 to get the volume in ml. For example, to convert 5 pt: 5 x 0.4732 = 2.366 ml, which is approximately 2.365 ml, rounded.
Conversion Example
- Convert 10 pt: 10 x 0.4732 = 4.732 ml
- Convert 2 pt: 2 x 0.4732 = 0.9464 ml
- Convert 15 pt: 15 x 0.4732 = 7.098 ml
- Convert 20 pt: 20 x 0.4732 = 9.464 ml
- Convert 25 pt: 25 x 0.4732 = 11.83 ml
For each, multiply the number of points by 0.4732. For example, for 15 pt: 15 times 0.4732 gives about 7.098 ml.

Conversion Definitions
pt
Pt, or point, is a unit of volume measurement primarily used in printing and typography, but also for liquids. One point equals 1/72 of an inch, but in liquid measurements, 1 pt is defined as 0.4732 milliliters, used especially in recipes and liquid measurements.
ml
Milliliter (ml) is a metric unit of volume, equal to one-thousandth of a liter. It is commonly used in medicine, cooking, and scientific measurements to quantify small amounts of liquids, providing a precise and standardized volume measurement across different contexts.
Conversion FAQs
How accurate is the conversion from pt to ml?
The conversion from points to milliliters using the factor 0.4732 is precise for standard measurements. However, slight variations may occur depending on measurement contexts or rounding, but for most practical purposes, it’s sufficiently accurate.
Can I convert from ml back to pt easily?
Yes, to convert ml to pt, divide the volume in ml by 0.4732. For example, 2 ml divided by 0.4732 gives approximately 4.22 pt. This reverse calculation helps when converting measurements from metric to customary units.
Why is the pt to ml conversion important?
Converting pt to ml is essential in cooking, pharmacy, and scientific fields for precise measurement. It ensures consistency, especially when recipes or protocols specify volume in points but tools or containers measure in milliliters.
