Liter

Definition:

A liter, represented as “L,” is a unit of volume accepted in the International System of Units (SI), though not technically an SI unit. It equals 1 cubic decimeter (dm3), 1,000 cubic centimeters (cm3), or 1/1,000 cubic meters (m3).

History/Origin:

From 1901 to 1964, a liter was defined as the volume of one kilogram of pure water under specific conditions. However, challenges arose due to factors like temperature, pressure, purity, and the prototype of the kilogram being slightly too large. This led to the liter returning to its previous definition.

Current Use:

Liters measure liquid volumes and label containers. They also gauge non-liquid volumes like car trunks, backpacks, computer cases, etc. Liters express fuel volumes and prices in many countries globally.

Gallon (US)

Definition:

A gallon is a unit of liquid volume in both the US customary and imperial systems. The US gallon is 231 cubic inches (3.785 liters), while the imperial gallon (used in the UK, Canada, and some Caribbean nations) is 4.54609 liters. Gallons are divided into quarts, quarts into pints, pints into cups, and cups into gills. A US gill has four fluid ounces, and an imperial gallon has five.

History/Origin:

Old Northern French “galon” is where the name “gallon” comes from. It developed in England as a system of measuring wine and beer, giving rise to other units such as wine gallon and ale gallon.

Current Use:

In the US, gallons are common for larger containers like half-gallon ice cream tubs or one-gallon milk cartons. They’re widely used for fuel economy expression. The imperial gallon is less common globally, with liters being the norm for fuel references.
