Convert Gallon (US) to Gallon (UK)
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.
Gallon (UK)
The UK gallon (also known as the imperial gallon) is a unit of volume in the imperial system, primarily used in the United Kingdom and some Commonwealth countries. It is defined as 4.54609 liters or 1.20095 US gallons. The UK gallon is commonly used to measure larger volumes of liquids, such as fuel, water, and beverages.
The UK gallon has its origins in the British imperial system, which was standardized in the 19th century. The gallon was originally based on the volume of eight pounds of water at a specific temperature, but this definition was later refined to 4.54609 liters to align with more precise measurements. The imperial gallon was established as the standard in the UK and other countries that adopted the imperial system, such as Canada and Australia, before they switched to the metric system. The UK gallon remains in use for specific applications, such as fuel measurement, although many industries now use liters.
