It is not used in the US customary system – though it implicitly exists since the US dry measures of bushel, peck, quart, and pint are still used – and is not included in the National Institute of Standards and Technology handbook that many US states recognize as the authority on measurement law. The US fluid  gallon is about 14.1% smaller than the dry gallon, while the Imperial fluid gallon is about 3.2% larger. Its implicit value in the US system was originally one eighth of the Winchester bushel, which was a cylindrical measure of in diameter and in depth, which made the dry gallon an irrational number in cubic inches whose value to seven significant digits was , or exact cubic inches. Since the bushel was later defined to be exactly 2150.42 cubic inches, this figure became the exact value for the dry gallon ( gives exactly ).
