For example, if a unit has the symbol "imp gal", and if the link is @[[Gallon]], then if the symbol is linked, it would appear as "imp gal" ("imp" and "gal" link two different articles).

By {{Convert}} default, the conversion result will be rounded either to precision comparable to that of the input value (the number of digits after the decimal point—or the negative of the number of non-significant zeroes before the point—is increased by one if the conversion is a multiplication by a number between 0.02 and 0.2, remains the ...
The National Institute of Standards and Technology formerly contended that customary area units are defined in terms of the square survey foot, not the square international foot, [17] but from 2023 it states that "although historically defined using the U.S. survey foot, the statute mile can be defined using either definition of the foot, as is ...

There was a US dry gallon, which was 96.8939% of an imperial gallon (and exactly 1 + 15121 / 92400 of a US gallon), but this is no longer used and is no longer listed in the relevant statute. After the United States Declaration of Independence the units of measurement in the United States developed into what is now known as customary units.
The table of imperial avoirdupois mass is the same as the United States table up to one pound, but above that point, the tables differ. One important difference is the widespread use in Britain of the stone of 14 pounds ( 6.350 293 18 kg ) for body weight, whereas this unit is not used in the United States, although flour was sold by a barrel ...
