Comparison of the imperial and US customary measurement systems adopted a system based on the 231-cubic-inch wine gallon for all fluid purposes. This became the US fluid gallon. Both the imperial and US fluid gallon are divided into 4 quarts, 8 pints or 32 gills. However, whereas the US gill is divided into 4 US fluid ounces, the imperial gill is divided into 5 imperial fluid ounces.

Note that one avoirdupois ounce of water has an approximate volume of one imperial fluid ounce
