About these units
Gallon (UK) (gal (UK))
The UK gallon, defined as 4.54609 liters, is larger than the US gallon by nearly 20%. It originated from the British desire to standardize wine and ale measures, leading to a uniform definition during the 19th century. Today, the UK gallon appears in older recipes, fuel consumption discussions, and British Commonwealth trade documents. Although the UK now uses liters for petrol and milk, the gallon remains culturally familiar, especially in automotive contexts such as miles per gallon (MPG), where both imperial and US definitions cause frequent confusion. The UK gallon's legacy persists through its continued use in some Commonwealth nations and specialized industries where imperial measures remain customary.
Ton Register (ton reg)
A register ton, or ton register, is a unit of volume, not mass, equal to 100 cubic feet. It is used in maritime contexts to measure the internal capacity of ships—specifically cargo-carrying volume, not weight. Ship registries rely on register tons to calculate taxes, port fees, and cargo classifications. The unit dates back to 19th-century maritime law, where consistent volumetric measurement was critical for international shipping regulation. Despite changes in global trade and containerization, register tons remain important for historical vessel documentation, as well as for understanding older merchant and naval ship specifications.
