Gallon (Uk)
The gallon (UK), also known as the imperial gallon, is a unit of volume used primarily in the United Kingdom, equal to 4.54609 liters.
History/Origin
The UK gallon was established in 1824 as part of the imperial system, replacing earlier gallons used in England. It was standardized with the adoption of the imperial system, based on the volume of 10 pounds of water at a specific temperature.
Current Use
The UK gallon is still used in the United Kingdom for measuring fuel, beverages, and other liquids, though the liter is increasingly common in official and scientific contexts.
Picoliter
A picoliter (pL) is a unit of volume equal to one trillionth (10^-12) of a liter.
History/Origin
The picoliter was introduced as part of the metric system's effort to create smaller units for measuring very small volumes, especially in scientific and technological fields, during the late 20th century.
Current Use
Picoliters are commonly used in fields such as biochemistry, molecular biology, and microfluidics to measure tiny liquid volumes, such as in DNA analysis, microarray experiments, and lab-on-a-chip devices.
