| Convert from pipe [UK] to cup [US] |
Unit Definition (pipe [UK]) The pipe [UK] like the butt, the pipe is a traditional unit of liquid volume generally equal to 2 hogsheads. In Britain it's more complicated, because traditional British hogsheads were of different sizes depending on what they contained. The British pipe was usually used as a wine measure, but even different types of wine had different size pipes. Unit Definition (cup [US]) The cup [US] is a traditional unit of volume used in recipes in the United States. One cup equals 1/2 (liquid) pint, or 8 fluid ounces. Technically, one cup equals exactly 14.4375 cubic inches or approximately 236.6 milliliters, not that anyone measures quite so precisely in the kitchen. American cooks use the same size cup for measuring both liquid and dry substances.
