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 Picoliter (pL)
Definition
The picoliter is a unit of volume equal to 10⁻¹² liters, or one trillionth of a liter.
Mathematical Relationship
1 pL = 10⁻¹² L = 10⁻⁹ mL = 1,000 fL = 10⁻⁶ µL. One nanoliter = 1,000 pL.
Conversion Formula
To liters: multiply by 10⁻¹². To nanoliters: divide by 1,000. To femtoliters: multiply by 1,000.
Practical Applications
Inkjet printer droplet volumes (1–80 pL), PCR reaction miniaturization, and micro-array spotting.
Interesting Facts
A standard inkjet printer deposits droplets of 1–10 pL. Some advanced printers use 1.5 pL droplets for high-resolution photos.
Common Mistakes
Confusing pL with µL (microliter) — there are one million pL in a single µL.
Educational Tips
Picoliter is the realm of inkjet drops and micro-fluidic reactions. 1 pL = a cube about 10 µm on a side — cell-sized.
