What does one board foot represent?

A board foot is a unit of volume for lumber, defined as the volume of a board 1 foot long, 1 foot wide, and 1 inch thick, equal to 144 cubic inches.

How is a US gill (gi) defined?

A US gill is a customary liquid volume unit equal to one quarter of a US liquid pint or four US fluid ounces, exactly 118.29411825 millilitres.

When should I use this board foot to gill (US) conversion?

Use this conversion mainly in contexts involving archival, historical, or research activities where both lumber measurements and traditional liquid volumes appear together.

Examples

2 board feet converts to approximately 39.896 gill (US) [gi]
0.5 board foot converts to approximately 9.974 gill (US) [gi]

Common Use Cases

Estimating lumber volume in board feet for construction and then comparing it to historical liquid volumes measured in gills
Conducting archival research where both lumber quantity and liquid measurements need to be cross-referenced
Restoring old documents or recipes that include measurements in board feet and gills (US)
Scientific or museum curation contexts involving traditional units of solid and liquid volume

Tips & Best Practices

Ensure the context justifies converting between a solid and liquid volume unit as this is not common for everyday applications
Use this tool primarily for archival, documentation, or research tasks involving these specific units
Refer to examples to understand how to apply the conversion rate correctly
Keep in mind the different physical states of the volumes being converted to avoid confusion
Validate the relevance of this conversion for your task before using it in practical scenarios

Limitations

Board foot is a measure of solid volume (wood), whereas gill (US) [gi] is a liquid volume, so direct practical conversion is generally limited
Conversion accuracy depends on recognizing that these units measure fundamentally different materials and states
Conversion between these units is primarily useful for historical or archival comparisons rather than daily volume measurement
