Unit History
About gallon
The gallon is a traditional measure of volume still used in the United States and parts of the Commonwealth. However, the US gallon (about 3.785 liters) differs from the imperial gallon (about 4.546 liters). Gallons commonly measure larger fluid amounts, such as fuel, and remain integral in contexts like US fuel economy ratings and British beer sales.
About cubic meter
The cubic meter is the SI base unit of volume, defined by a cube with edges one meter in length. It underpins most metric volume measurements and is crucial for scientific and engineering calculations. One cubic meter equals 1,000 liters, making metric conversions straightforward and consistent.
