How to Convert Hectoliter to Gallon (UK)
To liters: multiply by 100. To gallons (US): multiply by 26.4172. To barrels (US beer): multiply by 0.8523.
1 hL = 100 L = 0.1 m³ = 10 daL = 100,000 mL. One cubic meter = 10 hL.
For example, 1 Hectoliter (hL) = 21.99692483 Gallon (UK) (gal (UK)).

About Hectoliter (hL)
Definition
The hectoliter is a metric unit of volume equal to 100 liters, commonly used in the beer and wine industries.
Mathematical Relationship
1 hL = 100 L = 0.1 m³ = 10 daL = 100,000 mL. One cubic meter = 10 hL.
Conversion Formula
To liters: multiply by 100. To gallons (US): multiply by 26.4172. To barrels (US beer): multiply by 0.8523.
Practical Applications
Brewery production volumes, winery output, agricultural crop yields (grain in hL/hectare), and bulk liquid shipping.
Interesting Facts
Germany produces about 80 million hectoliters of beer annually. A standard US beer barrel equals about 1.17 hL.
Common Mistakes
Confusing hL with mL — they differ by a factor of 100,000. Always check prefix meanings carefully.
Educational Tips
A hectoliter = 100 liters. Picture a large barrel or about 26 gallons. Breweries measure output in thousands of hectoliters.
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.
