Gallon - this is measure of liquid and bulk solids in England, equal to 4.5 liters.

Gallon is a unit of volume (capacity, capacity) in the system of imperial measures. In England 1 gallon= 4.54609 cc dm, in the USA for liquids 1 gallon = 3.78543 cubic meters. dm, for bulk solids 1 gallon = 4.405 cubic meters. dm. Fractional units of a gallon are pint and.

Gallon- a measure of volume, approximately equal to 4 liters. Typically used for liquids, rarely for solids. Traditionally used in countries where the English system of measures was used - Britain, USA and others.

A gallon was originally defined as the volume of 8 pounds of wheat. Later, other varieties were introduced for other products and, accordingly, new varieties of pints appeared. America adopted the British wine gallon, defined in 1707 as 231 cubic inches, as the primary measure of the volume of a liquid. From here the American liquid pint was bred. The British corn gallon (268.8 cubic inches) was also adopted as a measure of the volume of bulk solids. This is where the American dry pint comes from. In 1824, the British Parliament replaced all gallon options with one imperial gallon, defined as 10 pounds of distilled water at 62 ° F (277.42 cubic inches).

A pint is derived from a gallon - one eighth of it.

V USA standard for liquid is 42 US gallons i.e. 1 US barrel= 42 US gallons = 159 liters = 1/2 hogshead. However, when measuring the volume of beer (due to tax restrictions) in the United States, the so-called standard beer barrel, which is equal to 31 US gallons (117.3 liters).

British unit of volume, capacity. National unit of volume in Argentina = 1.6 fraco = 3.785 L. National unit of volume in the Republic of Venezuela = 5.2 boats = 3.5 liters. National unit of volume of liquids in Honduras = 5 boats = 3.456 liters. National volume unit for liquids in the Colombian Republic = 3.785 L.

Gallon is, definition

Gallon (English gallon, gal) is a unit used to measure the volume of liquid substances and bulk solids, in a number of English-speaking countries, an indicator used in assessing the efficiency of vehicles (miles traveled per gallon of fuel consumed), in sociological research and comparing the standard of living and consumption of different countries (the cost of a gallon of fuel and etc.).

Gallon is unit of volume (capacity, capacity) in the English system of measures, used in England, the USA and a number of other countries.

Gallon is an indicator that allows you to assess the efficiency of fuel use vehicles.

Gallon is an indicator that allows for sociological comparisons, including those related to the standard of living of the population of different countries.

Using the unit of measure gallon

Term gallon comes from english gallon, then from Norman galon. (compare Old French jalon); from latin galona"Measure of fluid", Medieval-Latin gallo, gallona- "kind of round box", possibly from Gaulish galla"vessel".

Gallon is a measure of volume equal to 3.79 to 4.55 liters, depending on the country of use. It is usually used for liquids, in rare cases for bulk solids. It is traditionally used in countries where the English system of measures was used - Great Britain, the USA and a number of others.

The "gallon" unit of measure is closely related to the English system of units of measure for weight and volume.

UK gallon

In Britain, the gallon was used as a unit of measure (volume) for bulk solids and liquid products.

Measures for bulk products in Britain

Standard measures for bulk solids were introduced into Britain by the Romans.

Much later, in about 871, King Alfred the Great chose the city of Winchester in southeastern England as the capital of his kingdom of Wessex.

The golden age of the Anglo-Saxon kingdoms was probably during the reign of Alfred's great-grandson, Edgar the Peaceable (ruled 959-976), possibly the first king of England. One of the challenges facing Edgar was the "standardization" of weights and measures ("And let the same weights and measures be when used in London and Winchester" Laws of the Kings of England from Edmund to Henry I. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1925).

This law takes effect in the third year of Edgar's reign. Winchester was then the center for making standard arrangements. And the first were the standard measures for grains. The British would say corn measures. In British English, corn means grain, including wheat, barley, etc. (Samples of corn were brought to Europe after Columbus's second voyage: "I saw grains called maize"). In the United States, "corn" specifically means corn.

Early standards

The first dimensional copies of standards for various counties and cities appeared during the reign of Richard I, in 1197. Presumably, the earliest volume standards (bushel) were made of wood and have not survived to this day. The earliest surviving bushel is a bronze vessel (made in 1497, reign of Henry VII) with a volume of 2144.81 cubic inches, the other was made by order of Elizabeth I (1601) and has a volume of 2148.28 cubic inches.

Since at least the 13th century, a bushel has contained 8 gallons, and each gallon is the volume occupied by 8 pounds of wheat.

“With the consent of the whole kingdom of England concerning the measures, our lord the king ordered thus: namely, that an English penny, round and without pruning, weighs 32 grains of wheat from the middle of an ear. And 20 pennies is an ounce, and 12 ounces is a pound, which contains 20 shillings. And 8 pounds of wheat equals a gallon of wine. And 8 gallons of wheat makes up a London bushel, which is an eighth of a quarter. " MS. Cotton, Cleo. A. XVI, f. 6.15th century

This idea of defining a unit of measurement as the volume of a given weight of a particular grain has a thousand-year tradition, but, in many ways, wheat is not an ideal object for this purpose. As any farmer knows, the weight of a gallon of wheat fluctuates depending on the moisture content. The weight even depends on the height from which the wheat is poured into the container. But wheat had an overwhelming advantage as a commodity that everyone desperately cared about.

In fact, no matter what the law says, Henry VII's bronze standard contains not 8, but 9 gallons - 72 troy pounds of wheat (the name comes from Troyes, a city in France that was the site of major annual fairs in the Middle Ages. which attracted traders from most of Europe). The standard was made to reflect the practice in the market where wheat was sold in overcrowded (“caped”) units. One of Henry VII's bushels will contain the same amount of wheat as 8 heaped gallons.

In order to ensure uniformity, in the 17th century the term "Winchester Measure" appears in acts of parliament. In 1696, in the presence of Members of Parliament, Thomas Everard, the Excise Gauger and his assistants, measured the volume of Henry VII's standard Treasury bushel. They got a value of 2145.6 cubic inches. To facilitate the production of new measures, its dimensions have been rounded to a cylinder 18 ½ "in diameter and 8" in height. According to Everard himself, a cylindrical vessel of this size would contain 2,150.42 cubic inches, which is 4.82 cubic inches higher than the standard Bushel. This bushel was officially named "Winchester Bushel according to His Majesty's Treasury Standard."

Great Britain abolished the Winchester Bushel only in 1824, in the Imperial Measures Act. In Australia, Queen Victoria abolished the Winchester Bushel in 1890. In New Zealand, it was abolished in 1868. At the same time, the "simplified" bushel crossed the Atlantic and became the backbone of the "dry" bushel in the United States.

Measures for liquid products in Britain

Officially, the term "wine gallon" appeared in 1706. during the reign of Queen Anne, and is sometimes referred to as "Queen Anne's wine gallon." However, arrangements for wine originated in England much earlier.

The wine gallon appears to have originated as a unit used by traders in the early medieval English trade in imported wine from France, possibly through the Flemish city of Bruges. Therefore, it is not surprising that the Parisian 8 Livre was taken as the standard weight, which occupies a volume of about 224 cubic inches. Livre has been split into 15 ounces, each weighing about 30.6 grams.

In 1641 Reynolds, the Tower of the Tower created a stylish half gallon (Pottle). Measured in 1994, the double volume of this Pottle would have made a wine gallon equal to 233.06 cubic inches. It is likely that the emergence of the new 231-cubic-inch wine gallon is due to the simplification of the gauge construction: a cylinder 6 "high and 7" in diameter has a volume of 231 cubic inches, which is not significantly different from 233.

For decades, excise collectors have collected duties on wine imports using a 231-cubic-inch gallon. Then, in 1688, someone noticed that the 224-cubic-inch gallon was "a true wine gallon." But when they looked into the deeds, the excise officials found that the Treasury only had a standard for a gallon of 272-cubic inches.

Switching to a larger gallon would have caused a large drop in the king's income (since the tax was per gallon), so the commissioners refrained from revising the standards, and in 1706 the government amended the case and legalized the 231-cubic-inch wine gallon.

Finally, in 1824, the British Parliament replaced all gallon options with one imperial gallon, defined as 10 pounds of distilled water at 62 ° F (16.67 ° C), which is 277.42 cubic inches. But by this time a gallon of wine had already "left" for America.

Currently, 1 gallon is equal to 4.54609 cubic meters. dm.

US gallon

In the United States of America, the only legal gallon is a unit of liquid volume - 231 cubic inches = 3785.411 784 cubic centimeters. However, this is not the only gallon used in the United States in the past, for example, in the late 19th century, some states used a 282-cubic inch "milk gallon", and a "dry gallon" is still widely used today.

New York State used a liquid gallon, defined by local law as the volume occupied by 8.3389 pounds of avoirdupois water at 62 degrees Fahrenheit at a barometric pressure of 30 inches, which equates to a volume of 221.184 cubic inches. This figure was abolished by an act of April 11, 1852.

A US gallon is equivalent to an English wine gallon. Thus, in the USA for liquids, 1 gallon = 3.78541 cu. dm.

Fractional unit gallon - pint equal to 1/8 gallon and fluid ounce equal to 1/128.

In the United States, there is a special measure of volume - a fluid ounce, and a measure of weight - an ounce. There is a direct relationship between these units: one fluid ounce of water contains 1 ounce of weight.

In addition, the United States has additionally introduced:

Oil barrel, (bbl - world designation, br - Russian abbreviation): 1 barrel of oil = 158.988 liters = 42 American gallons (US gallons) = 34.9723 imperial gallons (imp gal) = 0.1589873 m3;

Fluid barrel, which is 119 liters (31.5 US gallons, 26 im gal (imp gal));

The standard beer barrel (introduced due to tax restrictions) is 117 liters (31 US gallons (US gallons), 26 imperial gallons (imp gal));

The total US federal barrel is 117.348 liters (25.8129 imp gal, 31 US gallons);

The total US federal proof spirits barrel is 151.416 liters (40 US gallons, 33.3069 imp gal);

Standard barrel for liquid, which is 42 US gallons, ie: 1 US barrel = 42 US gallons = 159 liters = 1/2 hogshead;

A US dry barrel is 7.056 cubic inches = 115.6 liters (approx. 3.28 bushel).

Back in 1790, US Secretary of State Thomas Jefferson appealed to Congress with a proposal to switch to the decimal system of measures and weights: "... in order to bring the arithmetic of calculus to everyone who is able to multiply and divide ordinary numbers." But so far it has not been possible to do this.

In the UK, back in 1965, it was decided to switch to the metric system, the English system of units of measurement was officially withdrawn from use at midnight on December 31, 1999. However, in 2007, the EU allowed the UK to use pounds and pints because the population of Britain is still not ready for the transition.

There are only three official adherents of the "English system" left in the world: the USA, Burma and Liberia. It should be noted, however, that the United States has actually adopted the "Old English system of measures." In 1988, Congress amended the Metric Conversion Act, according to which the metric system began to be considered “the preferred system of measures and weights of the United States for the needs of trade and commerce,” but the average American simply does not see much sense for himself personally in the metric system.

English system of units of measure for weight and volume

In the English system, three categories of units are used to measure weight characteristics: measures of mass (avoirdupois),troy (for precious metals and stones) and apothecaries measures of weight. Some of these measures in a number of countries differ somewhat in their size, therefore, below are mainly rounded metric equivalents of English measures, convenient for practical calculations.

Gradually, the English system was replaced by the metric system of measures. To indicate the system of units of the latter, the adjective metric is usually used, for example, "metric ton".

Weight units avoirdupois

The values of units of measure of mass in the UK have changed several times over the past century. Below are the values for the beginning of the 20th century.

The use of units of measure: ton, centner, quarter, stone, drachma and grains have been abolished in the UK since 1985 (Weights and Measures Act, 1985).

Variants of converting avoirdupois mass units into Russian and English abbreviations are given in the table.

In the USA, large units of mass have a different numerical value.

Commonly used unit ton (ton) is equal to 900 kg, or 2000 pounds (pounds), sometimes the expression is used for it Net ton.

When denoting the weight of coal (in Pennsylvania), iron and steel in physical terms, when assessing customs duties, long ton: 1 ton = 1016.047 kg, or 2240 pounds.

unit of measurement hundredweight contains 100 pounds, used from the early 18th century to the early 20th century, defined in many state laws. Currently, it is extremely rare.

The quarter unit has two options: short quarter= 1/4 ton or 500 pounds, and long quarter= 1/4 long ton or 560 pounds.

Troy weight units

In the United Kingdom and the United States, troy units of weight are used to estimate the weight of precious stones and metals.

Currently, only a troy ounce is officially used in the UK.

Variants of translation of Troy weight units into Russian and English abbreviations are given in the table.

In the United States, the troy measure of weights(troy ounce, pennyweight, grain) are widely used.

For example, in the "Uniform Regulation for the Method of Sale of Commodities" (2013), it is stated

“The unit of measurement and method of selling precious metals, if the price is based in part or in whole on the determination of weight, should be either troy weights or SI units. When a measurement or method of sale is expressed in SI units, troy conversion tables should be prominently displayed to facilitate price comparisons. The conversion table should also contain a table of troy weights, indicating grains, pennyweights and troy ounces. "

The grains also indicate the weight of the bullets.

Troy ounce is one of the main world units of measurement in the extraction of precious metals, in the precious metals market, in jewelry.

Weight units in pharmacies

In the English-speaking world, it is also widely used Apothecaries.

Options for translating units of pharmaceutical weight into Russian and English abbreviations are shown in the table.

Special measures of volume

In shipbuilding, when describing cargo capacity, units of volume (not weight) are used - register ton, equal to 100 cubic feet = 2.83 cubic meters.

During transportation, volumetric measures are used:

Shipping ton is equal to 42 cubic feet;

In the United States, a shipping ton is 40 cubic feet, also called a freight ton.

Some non-systemic measures for liquid products

Non-system units of liquid volume are used by bartenders when making cocktails.

Earlier in Russia there were a number of units for measuring liquid volumes.

Currently, the unit of measurement for everything: volume, work (plowing a garden), etc. is

Gallon as an indicator for evaluating efficiency

The gallon, as a standardizing indicator, is often used to assess the efficiency of transport systems and vehicles, when comparing the living standards and consumption of different countries.

Ranking of countries by cost per gallon of gasoline

But the nominal price at a gas station itself weakly reflects real value fuel for motorists. After all, a high price may not hit a resident's wallet so hard. rich country, as a formally low price - for ordinary citizens in a country with a poor population. Therefore, in addition to the formal rating, where 55 countries are ranked by the cost of a gallon of gasoline, Bloomberg has compiled a rating of the "painfulness" of gasoline prices. It is calculated as a fraction of the average daily earnings in a country that needs to be spent on buying one gallon of fuel.

The most expensive gasoline in Norway is $ 9.69 per gallon. The situation is unusual, Bloomberg notes: Norway is the only major oil-producing country with expensive gasoline. This is explained by the fact that it does not subsidize prices at gas stations, but uses petrodollars to pay for services - for example, providing free higher education and modernizing infrastructure. Norwegians, with an average daily income of $ 270, pay only 3.6% of it per gallon (48th in the list of painful gasoline prices).

Residents of crisis-ridden Greece (5th place with $ 9.23) have a much harder time, they pay 12% of their $ 75 income per gallon of gasoline (23rd position in the rating of morbidity). Gasoline prices in Greece are higher than the EU average.

Russia shares 29th place with Italy in the rating of painful gasoline prices, although its nominal price is almost three times lower - only $ 3.71 (46th in terms of prices). However, with an average daily income of $ 41, Russians have to pay 9.1% per gallon. As a result, the country, being at the bottom of the list in terms of the nominal price of gasoline, is practically in the very middle of the morbidity rating; for this indicator, we are at the average level in the world.

The situation is diametrically opposite in the oil-rich countries of the Persian Gulf. They occupy the last places in both ratings - both in terms of price and in terms of the share of earnings going to pay for gasoline. So, Saudi Arabia, which recently bypassed Russia and became the largest in the world in terms of oil production, is in 54th place in terms of price ($ 0.61) and 52nd in pain: a resident of the country, on average, spends 1.1 per gallon of gasoline % of your $ 55 daily income.

Alaska Airlines has reduced fuel consumption by 30% compared to 2004 and uses only 0.0138 gallons of fuel per passenger-mile (RPM). The company is currently ranked # 1 in fuel efficiency of all major US carriers.

Efficiency of rail transport

Until now in the United States at railway transport mostly locomotives are used.

Therefore, it is important to evaluate the efficiency of using liquid fuel during transportation. The table lists passenger miles (PM = Passenger-miles, volume and distance) per unit of fuel used (gal = gallon of diesel).

The table shows that the fuel efficiency of US rail transport is not improving.

US passenger car efficiency

The energy crisis has led to the emergence of more and more fuel efficient passenger cars, mostly of Japanese brands, in the US markets.

To assess the efficiency of vehicles, the MPG indicator is used - the number of miles that a car will travel using 1 gallon of fuel.

As can be seen from the figure, in the Trucks class, cars of American firms are twice as efficient as Japanese firms.

But real Americans love big cars. Dodge Ram Prospector, 1984. A very popular brand in the USA. A huge, powerful machine. There is always a metal ram on the hood. Rides, of course, like a tank. But 8 mpg is horrible. The owner costs $ 100 for one refueling of this monster.

In the section on the question how many liters in 1 gallon given by the author *** natali *** the best answer is 4.5892186345 liters

Answer from Igor Onishchenko[master]
4.54 liters

Answer from Simplify[master]
Gallon is a measure of volume used in countries where a system of measures and weights has historically developed, other than metric. Typically used for liquids, rarely for solids.
A gallon was originally defined as the volume of 8 pounds of wheat. Later, other varieties were introduced for other products and, accordingly, new varieties of pints appeared. America adopted the British wine gallon, defined in 1707 as 231 cubic inches, as the primary measure of the volume of a liquid. From here the American liquid pint was bred. The British corn gallon (268.8 cubic inches) was also adopted as a measure of the volume of bulk solids. This is where the American dry pint comes from. In 1824, the British Parliament replaced all gallon variants with one imperial gallon, defined as 10 pounds of distilled water at 62 ° F (277.42 cubic inches).
A pint is derived from a gallon - one eighth of it.
In the United States, the standard barrel for liquid is 42 US gallons, i.e. 1 US barrel = 42 US gallons = 159 liters = 1/2 hogshead. However, when measuring the volume of beer (due to tax restrictions) in the United States, the so-called standard beer barrel is used, which is equal to 31 US gallons (117.3 liters).

Answer from stoerous[guru]
1 US gallon = 3.78541178 liters
In the UK, 1 gallon = 4.54609 liters.
It is impossible to answer such a question unequivocally, since a gallon is a measure of volume that is included in a non-metric system of measurements and in different countries has its own value in terms of liters.
