Wet and dry Gallons or customary unit silliness vs. imperial and metric unit logic.

  • Wet and dry Gallons or customary unit silliness vs. imperial and metric unit logic.

    I see you have seemingly gone for US customary units 8o and have fallen foul of the customary unit (US) silliness of having a unit of volume that differs based on if it’s liquid or solid :rolleyes: , rather than the more logical approach of imperial (UK) and metric that volume is fixed regardless of if it’s liquid or solid.

    so, for liquids like diesel, adblue, liquid fertilizer, milk, water and so on you should do as you are doing using ‪3.785411784L liquid gallons (US) if you want to stick with US customary units.

    While for solids like, grains/seeds, granular fertilizer and so on you should be using 4.404884L dry gallons (US) if you want to stick with US customary units.

    So for instance the Class combine, it should have fuel displayed based on 3.785411784L liquid gallons (US), and the grain-tank should have its volume displayed based on 4.404884L dry gallons (US).

    FYI:
    1 liquid gallon (US) = 3.785411784L
    1 dry gallon (US) = 4.404884L
    1 imperial gallon = ‪4.54609L.





    Can’t wait to see what you define slurry in ;)
