Gill

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gill was an English measure of volume and was used as a dry and liquid measure. With the exception of beer in the British colonies and the USA, the measure was about 6 3 ⁄ 5 cubic inches (Prussian) or 1 ⁄ 10 quart (Prussian). A gill is between 0.11 and 0.14 liters .

In British bars, the liquor used to be sold in quantities of 1 ⁄ 6 gill, which corresponds to around 2.3 cl . Today in Great Britain 2.5 or 3.5 cl are common.

  • The dimensional chain is: 1 gallon = 4 quart = 8 pint = 16 cup = 32 gill
  • 1 gill = 1 ⁄ 4 pint = 1 ⁄ 32 gallon
  • 1 imp. Gi. = 5 imp. Fl. Oz = 40 imp. Fl. Dr. = 2400 pulses min. = 284.130.625 ⁄ 32.774.128 inch³ ≈ 8.669 inch³
    1 Imp. Gi. = 142.065 312 500 cm³ ≈ 0.142 liters
  • 1 US. liq. gi. = 4 US. fl.oz = 32 US. fl. dr. = 1920 US. min. = 7.21875 cubic inch = 118.294 118,250 cm³ ≈ 0.118 liters
  • 1 imp. Gi. = 568.261.250 ⁄ 473.176.473 US. liq. gi. ≈ 1.20095 US. liq. gal.
