80 to 90 would be about right, If I remember correctly.

from what I remember, the standard size keg over here gives around 88 pints from 50 litre kegs

although you can get 30 litre kegs these give out around 54 pints

88 pints not including wastage

Yep, 88 pints in a keg. Can differ though due to a number of factors though. For example, whenever we change the Heineken, it pulls high for a few pints. Easy to lose a few pints if you forget about it and don't turn the gas down.

afaik for accounting purposes its 88 pints (not incl. spillage)

They are certified to 50L which is 88 pints. Often they are filled very slightly higher. This is before allowance for wastage which depends on your tapping equipment (eg fob detector), line length, and filling skills!

85 - 92 was the average with 88 being what was susposed to be in a 50l keg. It varied as we had a variety of keg types and varied on age and how these ones preformed on the racking.
