Baking tin size and capacity conversions, Imperial and American Metric

BAKING TIN SIZES

I am often being asked for conversion tables for baking utensils so here are a few of the most common.

The thing to bear in mind is that the capacity of a round tin is roughly equal to a square tin which is 2.5 cms or 1" smaller (although this formula does not appear to apply to the smaller sizes).

CAPACITY		ROUND TINS		SQUARE TINS
Metric (Imperial)		Metric (Imperial)		Metric (Imperial)
800 ml (1.1/2pint basin)	=	140 mm (5 1/2")	=
1.1 litres (2 pints)	=	180 mm (7 in)	=	125 mm (5 in)
1.2 litre (2 pint basin)	=	150 mm (6 in deep)	=	125 mm (5in deep)
1.7 litres (3 pints)	=	200 mm (8 in)	=	180 mm (7 in)
2.3 litres (4 pints)	=	230 mm (9 in)	=	200 mm (8 in)
3.4 litres (6 pints)	=	250 mm (10 in)	=	230 mm (9 in)
4.5 litres (8 pints)	=	280 mm (11 in)	=	250 mm (10 in)
5.7 litres (10 pints)	=	300 mm (12 in)	=	280 mm (11 in)
1 kg. (2lb) loaf tin	=		=	180 mm (7 in) shallow tin
			or	130 mm x 230 mm (9 in) swiss roll tin
