What is the gallon (US) used for?

The US gallon is primarily used in the United States to measure liquid volumes such as motor fuels, milk, cooking oils, and HVAC flow rates.

What does the cor (Biblical) represent?

The cor is an ancient Hebrew dry volume unit equal to 10 ephahs, commonly estimated to be about 220 liters or roughly 58 US gallons.

Can I use this conversion for scientific experiments?

Due to the traditional and estimated nature of the cor, and the difference between liquid and dry measurements, this conversion is best suited for scholarly and comparative analysis rather than precise scientific applications.
