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 Quart

Basic facts: The quart [symbol: qt] is a unit of volume in the imperial and United States customary systems of measurement. The term is originated from the Latin “quartus” [meaning one-quarter] through the French “quart”. However, the French word “quart” has the same root, it frequently means something entirely different. There are multiple definitions of the quart. In the United States, a liquid quart is equivalent to around 0.946353 liters and a dry quart is equivalent to around 1.101221 liters. In the United Kingdom, the imperial quart is equivalent to 1.136523. In both the US and UK, the quart is equivalent to 1/4 of its respective gallon.

History: The base of the quart is the gallon, the definition of which has transformed throughout history based on the commodity being referenced. The English wine gallon is the base of the current definition of the United States quart. Up until 1824, this same definition was used for the imperial quart when the United Kingdom re-defined the imperial gallon.

Use: Currently, three kinds of quarts are used – the liquid quart and dry quart of the United States customary system and in the British imperial system – the imperial quart. All are around equal to one liter. So, the versions of the quart are used mainly in the United States and the United Kingdom, though, as a result of metrication in the UK, the use of the liter is now mandated.
