What is the volume of one US barrel in UK gallons?

One US barrel equals approximately 26.23 UK gallons based on the standard conversion used primarily in the petroleum industry.

Why convert from barrel (US) to gallon (UK)?

Conversion is essential for reporting, engineering, and trade when dealing with regions or contexts that use imperial volume units like the UK gallon instead of US volumes.

Can this conversion be used for barrels filled with liquids other than petroleum?

The US barrel unit is specific to petroleum and may not apply to barrels containing other commodities, so conversions should be used carefully.
