I need a rough guide as you buy them in bulk by kg or lbs and are
sold by the pint!

I want a ROUGH guide for dried shelled peas, like you buy to plant. You buy them in bulk by the kg or lb but its convention to buy them by the pint. I need to roughly convert to tell if buying bulk is much cheaper, thanks

What you are asking will depend on the (unit) conversion you need.
What it follows is for US (cooking conversions) and basically this is a cooking unit. You would have first to exept and consider peas as dry matter, (this is not 100% so as peas are not exactly dry matter.) Also you must also consider that, these are not weight and mass conversions (?)
There is also as you understand (pint US liquid). The difference? 1pint (US dry) = 1.163647(US liquid)
Here we go.
1 pint (US dry) will = 0.5 quart (US dry) or
37 tablespoon (US), or
0.0625 peck (US), or
0.125 gallon (US dry), or
2.3 cup (US)
However if none of these conversions are of interest to you then, because of the small differences between dry and liquid pint, fill up a pint with peas similar in size and freshness as the ones you buy, then weight them to find out what their weight is in kgs(grams) or pounds. Now if you convert the number of pint with the appropriate unit you use in your country kg or pounds you will know the weight of peas you got from the market.
1kg=1000grams, 1kg=2.205 pounds, 1 pound=452.6 grams

Depends on bulk density. Measure out a pint of peas and weigh them, OK.

Well I believe it could be up to 18 lbs. Depending on the density and moisture content of the peas. Are you trying to figure this out for canning?

i dont think anyone could answer that question as 'a pint' is a measurement of a liquid but peas are a solid, therefore they should be measured in a unit such as kilograms or grams etc.

its depends on the peas you are buying the little peas tend to weigh more than the bigger ones.

frozen peas would be heavier too.
