Explanation

The converter converts uk proof into abv percent by normalizing both strength scales through ABV percent. Formula: % ABV = proof (UK) × 0.5715. Both directions stay aligned because the calculator, common values, and mirror page all use the same ABV-based relationship. 100 UK proof equals 57.15% 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.
