UK Gallons
Definition
A UK gallon (imperial gallon) is a unit of volume equal to 4 imperial quarts, 8 imperial pints, or approximately 4.54609 liters. It is about 20% larger than a US gallon.
History
The imperial gallon was defined in the 1824 British Weights and Measures Act as the volume of 10 pounds of water at 62°F. It replaced the earlier English wine gallon (which became the US gallon) and the English beer gallon.
Current use
Imperial gallons are still used for fuel economy ratings in the United Kingdom and Canada (miles per imperial gallon). They occasionally appear in older British recipes and some Commonwealth country measurements.
Kiloliters (kl)
Definition
A kiloliter (kL) is a metric unit of volume equal to 1,000 liters or 1 cubic meter (1 m³).
History
The kiloliter naturally follows from the metric prefix system. It became practically important with municipal water supply management and large-scale industrial liquid storage in the 20th century.
Current use
Kiloliters are used in water utility billing, agricultural irrigation measurements, municipal water treatment, and large-scale industrial liquid storage. In Australia, household water consumption is commonly reported in kiloliters.
