What is a hectoliter used for?

A hectoliter is a metric unit equal to 100 liters often used for measuring large volumes in brewing, agriculture, and industrial storage.

How many liters are in one UK gallon?

One UK gallon is defined as exactly 4.54609 liters, used primarily in imperial measurement contexts.

Why is it important to distinguish UK gallons from US gallons?

UK gallons differ from US gallons in volume size, so confusing them can lead to inaccurate volume reporting or measurement errors.
