Barrel (UK)

A barrel (UK) is a unit of volume used in the United Kingdom. It is defined as 36 UK gallons, which is approximately 163.659 liters. The barrel is used to measure large quantities of various liquids, including beer and other beverages.

Origin:

The barrel as a unit of measure for liquids originated in the early days of the brewing industry in the United Kingdom. The 36-gallon size was standardized to provide a consistent measure for trading and transporting beer and other beverages. The use of the barrel as a unit of measure has continued to the present day, despite the adoption of the metric system in many other industries.

Gallon (US)

The US gallon is a unit of volume in the U.S. customary system. It is defined as 231 cubic inches, which is approximately 3.785 liters or 4 quarts. The US gallon is primarily used in the United States to measure liquids such as fuel, beverages, and other fluids.

Origin:

The US gallon originated from the British gallon, which itself was derived from earlier definitions of the gallon in medieval England. The British gallon was based on the volume of eight pounds of water, but the US gallon, which was standardized in 1824, was redefined to be 231 cubic inches in volume. This definition was adopted to better align with the measurements used in the U.S. liquid measurement system. The US gallon is slightly smaller than the imperial gallon (used in the UK and other Commonwealth countries), which is defined as 4.54609 liters. Despite the global shift to the metric system, the US gallon remains widely used in the United States for measuring liquid volumes.
