About these units
Gill (US) (gi)
The US gill equals 118.294 mL, representing one-quarter of a US pint. Historically used in measuring alcoholic beverages, the gill once played a significant role in tavern regulations, distilling, and bartending. Its usage declined sharply after Prohibition and continued to fade as ounces and milliliters became preferred for drink recipes and consumer packaging. However, some old cocktail manuals still specify gills, and certain traditional American spirits were originally bottled in gill-based volumes. The gill illustrates the rich historical diversity of volumetric units in American culinary and beverage culture.
Cubic Decimeter (dm³)
A cubic decimeter is defined as 1 liter, since it is the volume of a cube 10 centimeters per side. Though equivalent to the liter, dm³ is often used in engineering and physics because it fits neatly into the SI geometric framework. This unit is convenient when working with densities (kg/dm³), where the equivalence of 1 dm³ and 1 L simplifies many calculations involving fluids and materials. While the liter dominates everyday usage, the cubic decimeter is favored in technical contexts where a strong geometric interpretation is needed—for example, in tank sizing, volumetric flow calculations, or experiments involving water displacement.
