Conversion Definitions
Gallons: A gallon is a unit of liquid capacity used in the United States and some other countries. The US liquid gallon equals exactly 231 cubic inches, which is about 3.785 liters. Gallons are mostly used for measuring fuel, water, and other liquids in everyday life and industry.
Cubic: Cubic usually refers to volume measurements based on cubic units such as cubic feet, cubic meters, or cubic inches. It describes how much three-dimensional space an object or substance occupies. Cubic measurements are essential for quantifying space in containers, rooms, or materials.
Conversion FAQs
Why does 1 gallon equal 0.1337 cubic feet?
Because one US gallon contains 231 cubic inches, and one cubic foot contains 1728 cubic inches, dividing 231 by 1728 yields approximately 0.1337 cubic feet. This provides a direct relation for converting gallons to cubic feet.
Can I use this conversion for both liquid and dry gallons?
No, this conversion applies only to the US liquid gallon. Dry gallons have different volumes and would require a separate conversion factor to cubic feet.
Is the conversion factor exact or approximate?
The factor 0.1336805556 is exact for US liquid gallons to cubic feet based on defined units of inches and feet, so calculations using this factor are precise for practical purposes.
How do negative gallon values convert to cubic feet?
Negative gallon values represent a negative volume, such as removal or deficit of liquid. The conversion treats negative numbers mathematically, so multiplying a negative gallon by the factor gives a negative cubic feet value.
What if I want to convert gallons to cubic meters?
Gallons to cubic meters require a different conversion factor, since cubic meters are metric units. You would multiply gallons by about 0.00378541 to get cubic meters instead of cubic feet.
