This volume of water weighs about 1.04 ounces. The Imperial fluid ounce is 1/160 gallon (Imperial) or 8 fluid drams about 1.734 cubic inches or 28.413063 ml. This volume of water weighs exactly 1 ounce under certain temperature and pressure conditions.

These measures are not only different sizes to the British units of the same name, but different to each other. The wet U.S. units are 86% of the dry U.S. units with the same name. They are both smaller than the British units. The U.S. wet unit is 83% of the British unit, and the U.S. dry unit is 97% of the British unit. So if someone from the UK buys a gallon of gas in the United States, he will only get 83% of what he thinks he will get. While an American will probably flood the forecourt of the British filling station! I was particularly worried about the American habit of using volume for measuring ingredients for cooking, i.e. they use cups (or half-pints) rather than pounds as the British do (or rather we are now starting to use kilos). We need scales, but at least weight is well-defined! My problem was: Is there a 'dry' cup as well as a 'wet' cup, and are they of different sizes?

(There was a subsidary question as to whether butter and cream and peanut butter were wet or dry, and was there a difference between double cream and single cream?) I have had several very interesting comments on this, varying from "Of course we only use one cup" to "Of course we use two cups!" And most people point out that the volumes of butter are marked on the side of the pack (well, so there are in Britain sometimes, but I've usually already started the pack of butter when I come to use it for a cake!) However, eventually one correspondent said that there ARE two types of cup. They vary in design to make it easy to measure wet or dry ingredients, but they are the same size. They are all 8 fluid ounces. This sounded as if it answered all questions, so I checked it out. It seems that the cup used for measuring is a 'wet' cup, and there is no cup measuring half a dry pint. The dry measures of volume seem to be mostly used for amounts greater than a pint (if we ignore spoon measures). The name 'pint' and 'quart' are used in both systems (and are different sizes, so watch out!) However, there is one peculiarity.

One reference work described 'fluid ounces' and 'dry ounces'. But here the 'dry ounce' was a measure of weight and the 'fluid ounce' was a measure of volume. In fact, this went on to say "Measures are classified as either dry measures or fluid measures. Fluid measures are measures of volume, while dry measures are measures of weight. Whether the ingredient you are measuring is dry or fluid really doesn't matter, and will only confuse you. Simply use the measure that is specified in your recipe." So you use a wet measure like a cup to measure flour! I like the comment "Simply use the measure that is specified in your recipe" since the words 'pint', 'quart' and indeed 'ounce' occur in both wet and dry forms. At least one reference work used 'ounce' when they really meant 'fluid ounce'. Another correspondent says "Dry measure is actually little used in the U.S. A cup of flour or a cup of milk in a recipe are measured in the same measuring cup. Unless specified otherwise, all measurements are struck even with the top of the container.

The only survival of the identically named and slight differently sized dry units is that they are the officially sanctioned units for the purchase of fresh fruit, like buying a pint of strawberries. Most people are completely unaware that a pint of blueberries isn't the same pint as a pint of milk." Another correspondent has made the following points: "Some ingredients will differ in weight if loose or packed, so a recipe will further specify if the ingredient is to be packed or loose. When not specified the usage is to pour the ingredient into the measure until the desired level is reached. Sometimes a note tells the cook not to shake or pack, but this is considered unnecessary.Nuts can be whole, broken, ground etc. Each form will have a different weight for a given measure, but for the purposes of a recipe that is irrelevant. " (I disagree with him there I think the weight of nuts matter more than their volume!) "Measuring in this manner has an ancient history. In Ali Baba & the Fourty Thieves a volume (wet) measure was used to count gold coins :)" I still think the British method of weighing ingredients is better. I'd prefer to weigh gold coins to measuring them by volume!

Still, I would like to thank all my correspondents for illuminating me on this important subject, even if you confused me horribly en route! A further comment: "One thing I'm surprised you didn't mention is that, while UK volume measures are based on water under specified conditions, liquid and dry volume measures in the US are all based on the cubic inch. They were originally based on the volume of cylinders of specified dimensions, but early in the Nineteenth Century Congress standardized on a gallon of exactly 231 in^3 and a bushel of exactly 2150.42 in^3." I didn't mention it as I didn't know it! Another correspondent quoted a saying that he learned as a kid, "A pint a pound, the world around." This is not strictly true. It IS true to say that 1 ml of water is 1 gram, because it's defined as so. A pound is 454 grams. An American wet pint is 471 grams, which is approximately the same. A British pint is 567 grams, which is definitely more. But this is only talking about water.

Since the same amount of different materials will weigh different amounts, this can only be regarded as an extremely approximate conversion. Interestingly enough, the Americans have 16 fluid oz to a pint, while the British have 20 fluid oz to the pint. It turns out that an American dry pint is close to a British pint, while an American fluid oz (wet) is close to the British fluid oz. I don't know if this has any historical significance in the origins of the units! However, another correspondent, reading the above, says "As I learned this rhyme it is 'A pint's a pound the world around.' This is a mnemonic to help remember the number of ounces in a pint. That is, there are the same number of liquid ounces in a pint as there are (weight) ounces in a pound -- i.e. 16. It is not about the weight of a pint of anything. I suppose people found it easier to remember ounces in a pound." However, it doesn't explain why it's "the world round" since the British pint has 20 ounces! Also it's not a very good mnemonic, since it seems that people misunderstand it.

Another correspondent from Australia says "When my mother taught me to cook, she used, as a rough rule of thumb, one pound of sugar to one pint of vinegar when making chutneys, relishes, pickles and ketchups; and when making jam, one pound of sugar to one pint of cooked fruit." That seems very sensible! An English correspondent says "With regard to pint measures and mnemonics, I was always taught that 'a pint of water weighs a pound and a quarter'. As you mention, a pint of water actually weighs 20 oz so this works. I have never heard before the one about 'a pint's a pound the world around'." Well, it doesn't in the UK! I must admit that I hadn't realised that a fluid ounce of water weighed an ounce. But it is very close: 1 fluid ounce (of water) weighs 28.35 gram and an ounce is 28.375 gram. The correspondent goes on to say "As a small boy during holidays in Cornwall in the late 1960s, I remember often being sent to the village shop by my grandmother for 'a gallon of potatoes'.

Those were the days..." That certainly is a new one on me! I wonder what the shopkeeper said. (British potatoes were always sold by the pound, or even by the stone). Another correspondent explains this: "The story given me was that during the war years (WWII), when all the brass weights (along with the church bells) went to become shell cases, the villagers bought their potatoes in the ubiqutious galvanised bucket - which held two gallons of water and weighed about a stone (14 pounds) if I remember rightly! It carried on after the war years because it took time to get the brass back and people had become used to it." Click here for information about some American measuring cups. The American pound cake was originally so-called, because it used a pound each of its main ingredients, flour, sugar, butter, eggs. The Americans must have weighed ingredients then! The cake was baked in a special tin which makes a hole in the middle of the cake. One explanation for this is that it is easier to cut the cake, but I think that it is to help the cooking of the cake. Cakes cook from the tin towards the centre of the cake.

If there is part of the tin at the centre of the cake, it would speed up cooking time, and for such a massive cake (four pounds in weight!) this would be very important. There is a British cake called a Victoria sponge, made from a quarter pound each of self-raising flour, fat (such as butter) and sugar, and two eggs. I was very pleased to discover that two eggs also weigh a quarter of a pound! However, a correspondent has told me that pound cakes no longer have a hole in the middle, but are cooked in loaf tins. Bundt cakes and angel food cakes are the ones with a hole in the middle. Another correspondent says "US pound cakes are still baked in the tin with the whole. These tins are called Bundt pans and pound cake is most certainly baked in Bundt tins. Supermarkets in my part of the US (North Carolina) sell ready made pound cakes that were baked in Bundt pans too so it's not just a homemade cake thing. It's simply the preference of the baker as to which kind of tin to bake pound cake in." U.S.

Barrels Most fruits, vegetables, and other dry commodities - 7,056 cubic inches Except for cranberry barrels which are - 5,826 cubic inches Wine barrel - 31.5 gallons Ale and beer barrel - 36 gallons Proof spirits barrel - 40 gallons Calculation of federal taxes on fermented liquors - 31 gallons Petroleum barrel - 42 gallons Fish, beef, and pork barrel - 200 pounds Cement barrel - 376 pounds among others ... The sound you hear is me banging my head against the wall. I particularly admire the cranberry growers. And HOW do you calculate a tax on an alcohol barrel size which is different from all known barrel sizes? However, I have had an email saying that beer and whisky barrrels in the U.S. are 31 gallons. An old gallon measure On the left is an old gallon measure from Canada sent by one of my correspondents. While it seems to say George II, it is actually George V, and the 2 refers to London City. This is confirmed by the crest, which has been used by London for centuries.

However, another correspondent said "The measure you have pictured (on the left) wasn't verified in Canada during the reign of George V, as the Canadian system of controlling weights and measures was well established by 1911. The measure could very well have been found in Canada but would not be legal for trade here unless reinspected and rebranded with Canadian verification sequences." He supplies photos of a Canadian bentwood measure (centre, above) and its verification sequence (right). He has been collecting and researching Canadian Measures for about 25 years now and has a small website here . Rough conversion between Imperial and Metric Remember that British Imperial units of volume are different to American units. See above for details. I find many Imperial to Metric conversions very irritating, because they are far too precise. So here are some rough conversions which you can carry in your head. "A litre of water's a pint and three quarters." Or, of course, anything else. (It rhymes to help you remember it). A half litre is definately less than a pint. A quarter litre is less than a half pint. While the British don't mind buying their petrol in litres, there was (and is) considerable opposition to drinking metric beer or milk!

5 litres is more than a gallon. 4 litres is just over 7 pints. 5 ml is a teaspoon. It gets used for medicine.

The bushel as it is used by farmers in the U.S. is actually a measure of mass which varies for different commodities. Canada uses the same bushel masses for most commodities, but not for oats. There is a variety of “barrels” established by law or usage. For example, federal taxes on fermented liquors are based on a barrel of 31 gallons; many state laws fix the “barrel for liquids” at 31 1/2 gallons; one state fixes a 36-gallon barrel for cistern measurement; federal law recognizes a 40-gallon barrel for “proof spirits”; by custom, 42 gallons compose a barrel of crude oil or petroleum products for statistical purposes, and this equivalent is recognized “for liquids” by four states.

Before this, the gallon was redefined over the years (especially around the time of the American revolution) with consequent problems for our colonial cousins, which is why we have 8 of our gallons to one of our bushels, but the Americans have 9.309177 of their gallons (or 7.751512 of ours) to one of their bushels. To get around this, they have a dry gallon and a liquid gallon, which are different. To summarise: Imperial gallon 231 cubic inches Gill Unit of volume.
