Convert Cubic Decimeter to Gallon (US)
Cubic Decimeter
A cubic decimeter (dm³) is a unit of volume in the metric system. It is defined as the volume of a cube with sides that are each 1 decimeter long. One cubic decimeter is equivalent to 1 liter (L) or 1,000 cubic centimeters (cm³). It is commonly used to measure the volume of liquids and gases.
The cubic decimeter is derived from the decimeter, which is a unit of length in the metric system. The decimeter is one-tenth of a meter, and the cubic decimeter, being the cube of the decimeter, provides a practical unit for measuring volumes. The cubic decimeter is widely used in scientific and everyday contexts, particularly in measuring the volume of liquids and gases. It is equivalent to the liter, which is a more commonly used unit of volume in the metric system.
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.
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.
