In 1824, the British Parliament defined the imperial gallon as the volume of ten pounds of water at standard temperature. [2] The gallon was divided into four quarts , the quart into two pints, the pint into four gills , and the gill into five ounces; thus, there were 160 imperial fluid ounces to the gallon.
