Knowing how to convert two units of measurement is a skill that you should have because it can be handy while using immersive calculations. We agree that it can get a little tough to understand at times. Especially if the units are not commonly used on regular basis. So, it’s high time to get over that fear of conversions and measurements. In this blog, we will look at the relationship between liters and gallons, the process for converting l to gallons, and many more such related factors. So, without any further delay, let’s begin!

What is Liter?

A liter is a widely accepted non-SI unit of measurement that is used all over the world. One liter can also be considered as being equivalent to 1,000 cubic centimeters, 1 cubic decimeter, or 1/1000th of a cubic meter. During the early 1900s, a liter was defined as the actual volume of one kilogram of water during maximum density at atmospheric pressure.

However, the mass-volume relationship of water depends on several external factors beyond human control. And as per the discovery that the kilogram prototype was slightly too large, the definition of liter was reinstated as the previous one. Which is still the current definition of a liter.

Current Use of Liter

The liter is a widely used unit of measurement, mainly used for measuring liquid volumes. This is also used for labelling containers holding liquids and used for non-liquid measurements like climbing packs, backpacks, car trunks, refrigerators, etc. The liter is also popularly used to express fuel prices all over the world.

What is a Gallon?

A gallon is a unit of volume that is specifically used to measure liquid volumes in the imperial system of measurement. The word gallon is derived from the Old Northern French word ‘gallon’. This was developed as a system for the measurement of beer and wine. The US gallon is roughly 3.785 liters, while the imperial system defines 1 gallon to be equivalent to 4.546 liters.

Both the systems divide the gallon into 4 quarts. Quarts are further divided into 2 pints, and pints are equal to 2 cups. A cup can be further broken down into 2 gills. This means that 1 gallon is equal to 4 quarts, 8 pints, or 32 gills. Further, a gill can be divided into 4 ounces, while the US gallon is divided into 5. Therefore, a fluid ounce is equal to 1/28th of the US gallon, while the imperial ounce is equal to 1/160th of the US gallon.

Current Use of Gallon

The gallon is currently used for measuring the volume of larger containers like ice cream containers or milk cartons. Further, this is also used in the United States for fuel price expressions.
