}Explanation
The converter converts uk proof into us proof by normalizing both strength scales through ABV percent. Formula: proof (US) = proof (UK) × 1.143. 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. 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.
