	Online Conversion - The Imperial Units
		The Imperial units or the Imperial system is a collection of English units, first defined in the Weights and Measures Act of 1824, later refined (until 1959) and reduced.
		The term imperial should not be applied to English units that were outlawed in Weights and Measures Act of 1824 or earlier, or which had fallen out of use by that time, nor to post-imperial inventions such as the slug or poundal.
		Imperial units were eliminated from all road signs, although both systems of measurement will still be found on privately-owned signs (such as the height warnings at the entrance of a multi-storey parking facility).

	Imperial unit
		In metrology, Imperial units are the measurement units that were generaused in the British Commonwealth countries in the past.
		In the United States these two are not the same, the gallon and its subdivisions are used in the measurement of liquids; the bushel, with its subdivisions, is used in the measurement of certain dry commodities.
		The Imperial gallon is defined as the volume of 10 avoirdupois pounds of water under specified conditions, and the Imperial bushel is defined as 8 Imperial gallons.

	Gallon
		In 1824, Britain adopted an a close approximation to the ale gallon known as the Imperial gallon.
		The Imperial gallon is based on the volume of 10 pounds of distilled water weighed in air with the barometer standing at 30 inches and at a temperature of 62° Fahrenheit (which works out at 277.41945 cubic inches).
		Both the Imperial and United States gallon are equal to 8 pints.

		The US gallon, the so-called Winchester gallon, is now defined as exactly equal to 231 cubic inches (this odd value comes from rounding up the volume of a cylindrical measure 7 inches in diameter and 6 inches in height, which dates back to the days of the Magna Carta).
		Originally (in 1819), the Imperial gallon was meant to be the volume occupied by 10 pounds of water at 62°F. It's intermediate in value between the two British units it replaced in 1824, namely the corn gallon of 272¼ cubic inches (4461.378174 ml) and the ale gallon of 282 cubic inches (4621.152048 ml).
		The British had adopted the competing Imperial system in 1824, on the totally different basis of an Imperial gallon then introduced as the volume occupied by 10 lb of water at 62°F (later redefined in metric terms, as exactly equal to 4.54609 L) and an Imperial bushel equal to 8 of these gallons.

	An American Encyclopedia - Weights & Measures
		In the British system, a gallon of water weighs 10lbs, or 160 ounces, and similarly there are 160 fluid ounces in a gallon, or 20 fluid ounces in a pint - from this, it follows that a fluid ounce of water does indeed weigh an ounce.
		Like the gallon, this was not an arbitrary volume, but was based on the volume of a container of 18.5 inches diameter, and 8 inches in height.
		Like the Imperial bushel, the US bushel is divided into 4 pecks, 8 gallons, 32 quarts or 64 pints - so that the US dry volumes are different in size to their liquid volumes, even though the names are the same.

	The gallon (Steve Harris) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		Basically, the Brits of the 18th century had two kinds of gallons, the ale-gallon and the wine-gallon.
		But the American revolution had already happened by then, and the Britis were so, well, *imperial* about their imperial system that the Americans were fed up and continued to use Queen Ann's wine-gallon as the US gallon (which it later standarized for itself).
		As for the Brits, they would like to have standardized wine to the imperial gallon, too, but that would have meant a lot of lost excise revenues.
