The UK gill is a traditional and small volume unit not commonly used today
-
Conversion results may involve tiny decimal values that need careful interpretation
-
Primarily useful for legacy data or specific historical, culinary, and archival contexts
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is a gill (UK) used for?
-
The UK gill is a traditional liquid measure used historically in British pubs, recipes, and archival records to represent small volumes.
-
Why convert gill (UK) to cubic feet?
-
Converting gill (UK) to cubic feet helps in applying small traditional volumes into engineering, storage, and industrial contexts where cubic foot measurements are standard.
-
Is the gill (UK) part of the SI system?
-
No, the UK gill is not an SI unit. It is an imperial unit mainly used in historical or cultural contexts.
Key Terminology
-
Gill (UK)
-
An imperial unit of volume equal to one quarter of an imperial pint, approximately 142.065 millilitres, used historically in Britain for small liquid quantities.
-
Cubic foot (ft³)
-
A volume unit defined as the space of a cube measuring one foot on each side, used widely in engineering, trade, and HVAC applications.
-
Imperial pint
-
A British unit of liquid volume, of which one gill is one quarter, forming part of the imperial measurement system.
