What is a imperial gallon?
An imperial gallon is a British unit of volume equal to exactly 4.54609 liters, about 20% larger than the US gallon. The imperial gallon was defined in 1824 as the volume of ten pounds of water. It is still used in the UK and several Commonwealth countries, which is why UK 'miles per gallon' figures look higher than US ones.
Common uses of imperial gallons include: Fuel and fuel-economy figures in the UK and Canada; Historical and Commonwealth liquid measures; Comparing UK vs US gallon quantities; Agricultural and industrial liquid volumes.
What is a cubic centimeter?
A cubic centimeter is a metric unit of volume equal to the space of a cube one centimeter on each side, exactly equal to one milliliter. Long abbreviated 'cc', the cubic centimeter is the classic unit for engine displacement on motorcycles and small engines, and for medical fluid volumes before 'mL' became the preferred medical term.
Common uses of cubic centimeters include: Engine displacement on motorcycles and small engines; Medical fluid volumes (cc); Material volume in engineering and 3D modeling; Laboratory measurements.
