A Gallon is a unit of measure of volume for liquids, used in the community of Anglo-Saxon countries. The gallon of the United States, is not equal to the gallon of the United Kingdom. This is because, Britain began by indexing the gallon (known as the imperial gallon) to the volume of 10 pounds of water. While in the United States, the gallon was indexed to the volume of a cylindrical container (intended to contain wine), 6 inches long by 7 inches in diameter. Milk bottles marketed in the United States usually weigh 1 gallon (about 3.8 liters), while in countries with the international metric system these bottles are usually sold per liter.

A Cubic Meter equals 1000 liters and corresponds to the volume of a cube with 1 meter edges. Calculating the cubic meters of capacity of a pool is relatively easy, since you simply multiply the length, width and height. But if we want to calculate the cubic meters occupied by the water of a river, then the case changes. In these circumstances, the best we could do is try to get a rough estimate. Did you know that the impressive amount of 2.8 million cubic meters of concrete was used in the construction of the "Three Gorges" hydroelectric dam in China?

With the gallons to cubic feet converter, you can quickly convert cubic feet to gallons. You can easily switch between both volume units with just a simple multiplication or division.

This short text will cover how to convert gallons to cubic feet and give some practical examples. Let's dive right in!

US and UK gallons

Gallon (gal) is a volume unit, and it can be either a US gallon or UK gallon. A US gallon is exactly 231 cubic inches or 3.785 L, while a UK gallon is 4.546 L. As you can see, UK gallons have a slightly larger capacity than their US counterpart.

Let's take a look at how they compare to cubic feet.

Gallons and cubic feet

A cubic foot (cu ft or ft³) is another volume unit used in the US and Imperial unit systems. It's defined as the amount of space a 1 foot sided square box occupies. To convert between gallons and cubic feet we would first need to express a single gallon in terms of cubic feet:

1 US gal=0.133681 ft³1 UK gal=0.160544 ft³1\ \text{US gal} = 0.133681\ \text{ft³}\\ 1\ \text{UK gal} = 0.160544\ \text{ft³}1 US gal=0.133681 ft³1 UK gal=0.160544 ft³

That means we would need to multiply this number (0.133681 or 160544) by the number of gallons to switch between both units.

How do I convert gallons to cubic feet?

To convert gallons to cubic feet:

1. Write down the volume in gallons (US or UK).
2. Multiply this number by 0.133681 if it's a US gallon.
3. Otherwise, multiply the volume in gallons by 0.160544 if it's a UK gallon.
