Facts about Gallon
Basic Facts: The gallon is a unit of volume in the United States’ customary units and imperial units. 3 distinct versions are in current use:
– The imperial gallon [imp gal], defined as 4.54609 litres, which is or was used in Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland, and some Caribbean countries;
– The US gallon [US gal] is defined as 231 cubic inches [exactly 3.785411784 L], which is used in the US and some Latin American and Caribbean countries;
– The US dry gallon “usdrygal” is defined as 1/8 US bushel [exactly 4.40488377086 L].
There are four quarts in a gallon and eight pints in a gallon, which have dissimilar volumes in different systems. For both US [liquid] and an imperial gallon, the IEEE standard symbol is gal.
History: The term most immediately comes from galun, in Old Northern French – galon, but the usage was common in several languages, for instance, “gęllet” [means bowl] in Old English and “jale” in Old French.
The gallon was formed as the base of systems for measuring wine and beer in England. The sizes of gallons used in these two systems differed from each other: 1) One was based on the wine gallon [equal in size to the US gallon], 2) The other one is either the ale gallon or the larger imperial gallon.
By the end of the 18th century, there were three definitions of the gallon in common use:
1. The corn gallon, or Winchester gallon, of about 268.8 cubic inches (≈ 4.405 L) – The corn or dry gallon is used [along with the dry quart and pint] in the US for grain and different dry commodities.
2. The wine gallon, or Queen Anne’s gallon, which was 231 cubic inches [49] (≈ 3.785 L) – The wine, fluid, or liquid gallon has been the standard US gallon since the early 19th century.
3. The ale gallon of 282 cubic inches (≈ 4.622 L). – Britain adopted a close approximation, in 1824, to the ale gallon known as the imperial gallon and abolished all other gallons in favor of it.
Use: Gallons are often utilized for larger containers In the United States (US), such as one-gallon cartons of milk or half-gallon tubs of ice cream. In the US, as well as some of its territories gallons are also widely used in fuel economy expression. The US gallon is utilized more frequently than the imperial gallon. Most countries around the world use liters when referencing fuel.

Facts about Cubic Foot
Basic facts: A cubic foot [symbol is: ft3 or cu ft] is a unit of volume in the United States customary, i.e.: non-metric, and imperial systems of measurement represented as the cube volume with side measurements of 1 ft × 1 ft × 1 ft. It equals 1,728 cubic centimeters, around 0.028317 cubic meters, and 28.317 liters. In other words, it is the amount of liquid that can be fit into a box 1 foot deep, 1 foot wide, and 1 foot in length. A cubic foot of water weighs 62.37 pounds (28.29 kg) at 60 °F (16 °C).
History: The cubic foot descended from the foot, the definition of which is based on the international yard which was adopted in the 1950s and 1960s as precisely equal to 0.9144 m.
Use: The cubic foot is used in the United Kingdom, in the United States, and in some parts of Canada, however, in all of these countries, the SI (International System of Units) units of volume such as liter, milliliter, and cubic meter, are also used.
A cubic foot per second or cubic meter per second [the IEEE symbol for the cubic foot per second is ft3/s.] commonly expresses the flow or discharge of rivers, i.e., the volume of water passing a location per unit of time.
A cubic foot per minute [the IEEE symbol for the cubic foot per minute is ft3/min] is used to measure the amount of air that is being delivered and is a common metric utilized for carburetors, air-compressor systems, and pneumatic tools.
A standard cubic foot [abbreviated scf] is a measure of the quantity of gas, sometimes defined in terms of standard temperature and pressure as a cubic foot of volume at 60 degrees Fahrenheit (15.56 °C; 288.71 K).

Converting Gallons To Cubic Feet – Using Our Calculator
When you want to convert gallons to cubic feet, one of the easiest ways that you have is to simply use our calculator located at the top of this page.
If you take a look at it, you will see that you only have two different fields available – one that refers to gallons and the other one that refers to cubic feet.
Since you are trying to convert gallons to cubic feet, you just need to add the number of gallons that you want to convert into cubic feet in the first field, and then check the conversion result on the second field.
Looking to convert cubic yards to cubit feet?
Here’s an example. Let’s say that you want to convert 5 gallons to cubic feet.
So, as we just mentioned above, you just need to add the number 5 to the gallons field (the first one), and then check the second field to get your conversion result. In this case:
5 Gallons = 0.6684 Cubic Feet
Another thing that may be useful to you is that you can also use our simple calculator to convert cubic feet into gallons. In this case, you will need to add the number of cubic feet that you want to convert into gallons in the second field, and then just look at the gallons field (the first one) to get the conversion result.
Here’s an example. Let’s imagine that you want to convert 50 cubic feet into gallons. In this case, and as we just mentioned, you will need to add the number 50 to the second field (cubic feet) and then look at the gallons field (the first one) to get the conversion result. In this case:
50 Cubic Feet = 374.02597 Gallons
