Best Answer

No.

-----------

Rationale:

-----------

A pint is unit of volume and a pound is a unit of weight.

A unit of volume does not equal a unit of weight.

You can however equate a unit of volume to a unit of weight if the density of the matter which is put into the pint container weighs a pound. Alternatively, if a pint is filled with matter that has a different density, then the pint would weigh less or more than a pound. In the latter example, the weight of the pint would not be equal to a pound. Volume & weight are different units of measure.

Pints are a measure of liquid volume. Pounds is a measure of weight/mass. They don't convert directly because of density.
