How to Convert Attoliter to Gallon (UK)
To liters: multiply by 10⁻¹⁸. To femtoliters: divide by 1,000. To cubic nanometers: 1 aL = 10⁶ nm³.
1 aL = 10⁻¹⁸ L = 10⁻²¹ m³ = 10⁻¹⁵ µL. One femtoliter = 1,000 aL.
For example, 1 Attoliter (aL) = 2.199692e-19 Gallon (UK) (gal (UK)).

About Attoliter (aL)
Definition
The attoliter is an extremely small unit of volume equal to 10⁻¹⁸ liters, or one quintillionth of a liter.
Mathematical Relationship
1 aL = 10⁻¹⁸ L = 10⁻²¹ m³ = 10⁻¹⁵ µL. One femtoliter = 1,000 aL.
Conversion Formula
To liters: multiply by 10⁻¹⁸. To femtoliters: divide by 1,000. To cubic nanometers: 1 aL = 10⁶ nm³.
Practical Applications
Measuring individual molecular reaction volumes, nano-droplet volumes, and single-cell compartments.
Interesting Facts
A typical virus capsid can enclose a volume of just a few attoliters. The interior of a ribosome is measured in attoliters.
Common Mistakes
Confusing attoliters with femtoliters — there are 1,000 aL in 1 fL. The scale difference is enormous.
Educational Tips
Prefix ladder: milli → micro → nano → pico → femto → atto. Each step is 10⁻³ smaller than the last.
About Gallon (UK) (gal (UK))
Definition
The UK (imperial) gallon is a unit of volume equal to 160 UK fluid ounces, or exactly 4.54609 liters.
Mathematical Relationship
1 UK gal = 4 UK qt = 8 UK pt = 160 UK fl oz = 4.54609 L ≈ 1.201 US gal.
Conversion Formula
To liters: multiply by 4.54609. To US gallons: multiply by 1.20095. To cubic meters: multiply by 0.00454609.
Practical Applications
UK road signs (mpg), older fuel consumption references, and some Caribbean and Middle Eastern markets that still use imperial units.
Interesting Facts
A UK gallon is about 20% larger than a US gallon. A car rated at 40 mpg (UK) gets only about 33 mpg (US).
Common Mistakes
Misinterpreting UK mpg as US mpg — UK figures look higher because the imperial gallon is larger.
Educational Tips
UK gallon ≈ 4.55 L ≈ 1.2 US gallons. The UK gallon was defined so that 1 gallon of water = 10 pounds.
