How to convert

1 gill (gi) = 7.2187 cubic inch (cu in). Gill (gi) is a unit of Volume used in Standard system. Cubic Inch (cu in) is a unit of Volume used in Standard system.

Gills: A Unit of Volume

Gills are a unit of volume that are used to measure liquids, such as water, milk, oil, wine, etc. They are also used to measure some dry goods, such as grains, fruits, nuts, etc. They are different from cups, which are a smaller unit of volume. They are also different from liters, which are a larger unit of volume. They are also different from barrel of oil equivalent (BOE), which is a unit of energy based on the approximate energy released by burning one barrel of crude oil.

Definition of Gills

A gill is equal to one fourth of a pint in both the imperial and US customary systems of measurement. It is equivalent to 5 fluid ounces or 142.065 milliliters in the metric system.

History of Gills

The origin of the term gill as a unit of measure is uncertain, but it may have derived from the Old French word gille, which means a measure for wine or beer. Gills have been used since ancient times to store and transport various liquids and dry goods. The size and shape of gills varied depending on the type and quantity of the goods, the availability of materials, and the customs of different regions and countries.

The use of gills as a unit of measure dates back to the medieval times, when the European system of measurement was established. The standard size of these gills was based on the wine gallon, which was originally defined as the volume of eight pounds of wine at 62 °F. The gill was convenient for measuring and dividing smaller amounts of liquids and dry goods.

The use of gills as a unit of measure continued until the 20th century, when the metric system of measurement was adopted in most countries. The gill was gradually replaced by units such as liters, grams, etc. However, some countries and regions still use gills for certain types of liquids and dry goods, especially in the United Kingdom and Ireland and some Commonwealth nations.

How to Convert Gills

To convert gills to other units of volume, one can use the following formulas:

  • To convert UK gills to liters: multiply by 0.142

  • To convert UK gills to cubic inches: multiply by 8.669

  • To convert UK gills to fluid ounces: multiply by 5

  • To convert UK gills to US liquid pints: multiply by 0.118

  • To convert UK gills to BOE: divide by 140

  • To convert US liquid gills to liters: multiply by 0.118

  • To convert US liquid gills to cubic inches: multiply by 7.219

  • To convert US liquid gills to fluid ounces: multiply by 4

  • To convert US liquid gills to UK pints: multiply by 0.211

  • To convert US liquid gills to BOE: divide by 150

Where Gills are Used

Gills are mainly used in some countries and regions that use the imperial system or the US customary system of measurement. They are often used for measuring and adding liquids such as water, milk, oil, wine, etc., and dry goods such as grains, fruits, nuts, etc., to recipes.

In some countries that use the metric system of measurement, such as Canada and Australia, gills are not commonly used or recognized. Instead, they use units such as liters, grams, etc.

Example Conversions of Gills to Other Units

Here are some examples of converting gills to other units of volume:

  • 1 UK gill = 0.142 liters

  • 2 UK gills = 17.338 cubic inches

  • 3 UK gills = 15 fluid ounces

  • 4 UK gills = 0.473 US liquid pints

  • 5 UK gills = 0.036 BOE

  • 1 US liquid gill = 0.118 liters

  • 2 US liquid gills = 14.438 cubic inches

  • 3 US liquid gills = 12 fluid ounces

  • 4 US liquid gills = 0.845 UK pints

  • 5 US liquid gills = 0.033 BOE.

The US gill, defined as 118.29411825 milliliters = 1/32 US liquid gallon.

Cubic Inches - A Unit of Volume

Definition of the Cubic Inch

A cubic inch (symbol in3 or cu in) is a unit of volume in the imperial and US customary (non-metric) units systems. It is the volume of a cube with each of its three dimensions (length, width, and height) being one inch (0.0254 meter) in length.

One cubic inch is equal to 0.000578704 cubic feet, 0.037037 cubic yards, or 0.016387064 liters.

History of the Cubic Inch

The cubic inch is derived from the inch, which is an ancient unit of length that was based on the length of a human thumb. The inch was originally divided into 12 lines, and later into 16 digits or 4 barleycorns. The inch was used in many different systems of measurement, such as the Roman, Anglo-Saxon, English, and Scottish systems. The inch was standardized by King Edward II of England in 1324 as the length of three barleycorns laid end to end. The current definition of the inch, adopted in 1959, is based on the international yard, which is defined as 0.9144 meter.

The cubic inch was first used as a unit of volume for measuring solid objects in England in the 14th century. It was also used for measuring other materials and substances, such as wood, stone, metal, water, and air. The cubic inch was adopted as a standard unit of measure in the imperial system in 1824, along with other units such as the gallon, the bushel, and the barrel. The cubic inch was also used in the US customary system, which is similar but not identical to the imperial system. The cubic inch is still widely used today for various purposes, such as engineering, commerce, and everyday life.

How to Convert Cubic Inches

To convert cubic inches to other units of volume, you need to multiply or divide by the appropriate conversion factor. Here are some common conversion factors and examples:

  • To convert cubic inches to cubic feet, multiply by 0.000578704.
    • Example: 2 in3 × 0.000578704 = 0.001157408 ft3
  • To convert cubic inches to cubic yards, multiply by 0.000037037.
