Gill (Us)
A gill (US) is a unit of volume measurement equal to one-quarter of a US pint, or 4 US fluid ounces.
History/Origin
The gill originated from the Old French 'gelle' and was historically used in the UK and US for measuring liquids, especially in brewing and cooking. Its usage has declined with the standardization of metric units.
Current Use
Today, the US gill is rarely used in everyday measurement but may still be encountered in historical contexts, traditional recipes, or specific industries like brewing and bartending in the United States.
Cubic Decimeter
A cubic decimeter (dm^3) is a unit of volume equal to the volume of a cube with sides of one decimeter (10 centimeters).
History/Origin
The cubic decimeter has been used as a standard unit of volume in the metric system since its adoption, primarily for scientific and industrial measurements, as a convenient subdivision of the liter.
Current Use
The cubic decimeter is commonly used in scientific, medical, and industrial contexts to measure liquids and other substances, often interchangeably with liters, since 1 dm^3 equals 1 liter.
