API, OpenAPI and WebMCP documentation

Explanation

The converter converts abv percent into us proof by normalizing both strength scales through ABV percent. Formula: proof (US) = % ABV × 2. Both directions stay aligned because the calculator, common values, and mirror page all use the same ABV-based relationship. US proof is defined as 2 times ABV.

This is the practical way to compare labeling systems such as ABV, US proof, UK proof, and related fractional strength formats without mixing incompatible proof definitions.

Method & Strength Basis

Method basis: fixed alcohol-strength definitions normalized through ABV percent, including the exact US and UK proof relationships used on this page.
Applied factor: 1 ABV Percent = 2 US Proof.
Consistency rule: calculator output and common-value rows use the same ABV-based strength constants in both directions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does this route go through ABV percent?

ABV percent is the common reference layer for this family, so proof, fraction, and per-mille strength values stay consistent and reversible.
