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 yard
A cubic yard is an imperial unit often used in construction and landscaping to measure bulk materials such as concrete, gravel, or soil. By definition, it is the volume of a cube with edges one yard in length. Because of its practicality, it remains relevant in some industries despite widespread metric adoption.
