UK Gallons to Cups

UK Gallon (Imperial Gallon)

A UK gallon, also called an Imperial gallon, is a volume unit used primarily in the United Kingdom and some Commonwealth countries. It is larger than the US gallon, holding the equivalent of 4 quarts, 8 pints, or 160 fluid ounces. The Imperial gallon is still commonly used to measure fuel at petrol stations and in older beverage packaging.

Because the UK gallon is different from the US gallon, international conversions can be misleading if the type of gallon isn’t specified. Using a volume converter ensures accurate translation to liters, cups, or other measurement systems when comparing product sizes from different countries.

Cup

A cup (c) is a popular unit of volume used mainly in the United States for cooking, beverages, and everyday household measurements. One US cup equals 8 fluid ounces or 16 tablespoons, making it a convenient size for recipes and serving portions. Because measuring cups are easy to find in most kitchens, the cup has become a standard reference in baking and cooking instructions.

Converting cups to metric units — such as milliliters or liters — can be tricky because recipes around the world use different standards. An online converter makes it simple to switch between systems and follow international cooking guides accurately.
