About Imperial gallon (imp gal)
The imperial gallon is a unit of volume defined as exactly 4.54609 liters, used in the United Kingdom, Canada, and some Commonwealth nations. It is approximately 20% larger than the US liquid gallon. Fuel economy in the UK is expressed in miles per imperial gallon. The imperial gallon divides into 8 imperial pints, each of 568 mL. The UK officially metricated fuel sales to liters in the 1980s–1990s, but miles per imperial gallon remains the legal unit for new car fuel economy labels.
UK car fuel economy figures are expressed in miles per imperial gallon. One imperial gallon equals 8 standard UK pints of beer.
About Cubic millimeter (mm³)
A cubic millimeter (mm³) is the volume of a cube with sides of one millimeter, equal to one microliter (0.001 mL). It is among the smallest practical volume units in science and engineering, used in microfabrication, inkjet technology, microfluidics, and medical dosing. Raindrops are commonly estimated at 50 mm³, while a standard inkjet printer deposits droplets of 1–30 mm³. The cubic millimeter belongs to the metric system and sits three orders of magnitude below the milliliter.
A single raindrop is roughly 50 mm³. A standard inkjet printer droplet ranges from 1 to 30 mm³.
Imperial gallon – Frequently Asked Questions
How many liters are in an imperial gallon?
One imperial gallon is defined as exactly 4.54609 liters — approximately 20% more than the US liquid gallon (3.785 L).
Does the UK still use gallons?
The UK switched fuel sales to liters in the 1990s. However, miles per gallon (imperial) remains the legal unit for car fuel economy on new vehicle labels. Road speed is in mph and distances are in miles, so imperial gallons remain embedded in UK motoring.
How does UK MPG differ from US MPG?
UK MPG uses the imperial gallon (4.546 L); US MPG uses the US gallon (3.785 L). Multiply UK MPG by 0.832 to get US MPG. A car rated 40 UK MPG ≈ 33 US MPG.
How many pints are in an imperial gallon?
There are exactly 8 imperial pints in one imperial gallon. Each imperial pint is 568 mL, compared to 473 mL for a US pint.
Is the imperial gallon still used in Canada?
Canada officially metricated in the 1970s and fuel is sold in liters. However, some older Canadians and certain agricultural contexts still reference imperial gallons informally. Canadian and UK imperial gallons are identical (4.54609 L).
Cubic millimeter – Frequently Asked Questions
What is a cubic millimeter?
A cubic millimeter (mm³) is the volume of a cube measuring 1 mm on each side. It equals one microliter (μL) or 0.001 milliliters, making it one of the smallest named volume units in everyday scientific use.
How many cubic millimeters are in a milliliter?
There are exactly 1,000 cubic millimeters in one milliliter. This follows from 1 mL = 1 cm³ and 1 cm³ = 1,000 mm³ (since 10³ = 1,000).
What is measured in cubic millimeters?
Cubic millimeters are used in microfluidics, inkjet printing, medical dosing, and precision manufacturing. Inkjet printers deposit droplets of 1–30 mm³; medical microsampling devices handle volumes in the 10–100 mm³ range.
How big is a raindrop in cubic millimeters?
A typical raindrop is roughly 20–100 mm³ (0.02–0.1 mL), with an average often cited around 50 mm³. Very small drizzle drops can be under 10 mm³, while large storm drops approach 100 mm³.
How do cubic millimeters relate to cubic centimeters?
One cubic centimeter (cm³) equals 1,000 cubic millimeters (mm³). Since 1 cm³ = 1 mL, the chain is: 1 cm³ = 1 mL = 1,000 mm³.
