Wine was measured with units based on the wine gallon of 231 cubic inches (3.785 L), beer was measured with units based on an ale gallon of 282 cubic inches (4.621 L) and grain was measured with the Winchester measure with a gallon of approximately 268.8 cubic inches (one eighth of a Winchester bushel or 4.405 L). In 1824, these units were ...
The quart (symbol: qt) [1] is a unit of volume equal to a quarter of a gallon. Three kinds of quarts are currently used: the liquid quart and dry quart of the US customary system and the imperial quart of the British imperial system. All are roughly equal to one liter. It is divided into two pints or (in the US) four cups. Historically, the ...
The dry quart and dry pint are exactly 15121 / 92400 larger than their liquid counterparts, while the dry barrel is exactly 1 / 33 smaller than the fluid barrel, except for barrels of beer (dry barrels are exactly 5 / 341 smaller) and barrels of oil (dry barrels are exactly 3 / 11 smaller).
[15] [16] The tun was subsequently redefined as 252 gallons, and the quarter was effectively ¼ pipe or butt. [15] The quarter of wine was a gallon larger than a hogshead: [15] since the wine gallon was considered to be 231 cubic inches, [17] the measure was 242.27 litres. The ale gallon was 282 cubic inches, [18] meaning the quarter of ale was ...
The apothecaries and troy pounds are divided into 12 ounces (of 480 grains) while the avoirdupois pound has 16 ounces (of 437.5 grains). The unit of volume, the gallon, has different values in the United States and in the United Kingdom – the US fluid gallon being about 0.83 imperial gallons and the US dry gallon being about 0.97 imperial ...
Dry ice is typically produced in three standard forms: large blocks, small (1 ⁄ 2 or 5 ⁄ 8 in [13 or 16 mm] diameter) cylindrical pellets and tiny (1 ⁄ 8 inch [3.2 mm] diameter) cylindrical, high surface to volume pellets that float on oil or water and do not stick to skin because of their high radii of curvature.
The Biden administration said Tuesday it is releasing 1 million barrels of gasoline from a Northeast reserve established after Superstorm Sandy in a bid to lower prices at the pump this summer.
