None, since there can be no conversion. A kilogram is a measure of mass. A pint is a measure of volume. The two measure different things and, according to basic principles of dimensional analysis, conversion from one to the other is not valid.
If you are not convinced, consider a pint of air. How many kilograms? Next consider a pint of water. How many kilograms? The masses of equal volumes of the two substances will clearly be very different. So there is no direct conversion between mass and volume: you need to know the density of the substance to enable you to carry out the conversion.

Kilograms is a measure of mass. Pint is a measure of volume. Thus a density is needed.

The conversion is not adequate.
Pint is a unit of volume and kilogram is a unit of mass.
