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 Pint

Basic facts: A pint [symbol: pt, sometimes abbreviated as p] is a unit of volume and capacity in the United States customary and the imperial units’ systems. In both of mentioned systems, it is traditionally one-eighth of a gallon. The imperial pint is equivalent to around 568 mL. The liquid pint is about 473 mL in the United States, while the dry pint is 551 mL. The British imperial pint is approximately 20% larger than the American pint because the two systems are defined differently.

History: Pint originated from the Old French word “pinte” and possibly eventually from Vulgar Latin “pincta” which means “painted”, for marks painted on the side of a container to indicate capacity. As already mentioned, both the US and UK pints were historically defined as 1/8 of a gallon. In 1824, the difference between the definitions of the United States and United Kingdom pints appeared when the UK adopted a new definition of the gallon while the US maintained the older English measure of the wine gallon.

Use: The dry and liquid pints are still used in the U.S. as a measurement of volume, however, the process of metrication dictated that the pint be replaced by metric units of volume, it is still legal to use the pint as a supplementary unit in the UK, and certain items such as draught beer, milk, and cider, in returnable containers, are still measured in terms of pints.
