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.
About Femtoliter (fL)
Definition
The femtoliter is a unit of volume equal to 10⁻¹⁵ liters, or one quadrillionth of a liter.
Mathematical Relationship
1 fL = 10⁻¹⁵ L = 10⁻¹² mL = 1,000 aL = 1 µm³ (cubic micrometer).
Conversion Formula
To liters: multiply by 10⁻¹⁵. To picoliters: divide by 1,000. To attoliters: multiply by 1,000.
Practical Applications
Measuring red blood cell volumes (normal MCV: 80–100 fL), inkjet droplet sizes, and flow cytometry particle analysis.
Interesting Facts
A human red blood cell has a volume of about 90 fL. The smallest inkjet droplets are in the range of 1–5 fL.
Common Mistakes
Assuming fL is too small to be practical — it is actually the standard unit used on every complete blood count (CBC) lab report.
Educational Tips
Remember: fL = femtoliter, the volume of blood cells. Normal MCV range: 80–100 fL. It's a key clinical measurement.
