Andreas Guelzow  commented on OFFICE-3492:
------------------------------------------

Measurement Canada has a definition of the imperial gallon in its Weights and Measures Act. See http://laws.justice.gc.ca/PDF/Statute/W/W-6.pdf
It gives 1 gallon = 454 609/100 000 000 cubic metre.

> "parsec" or "pc" *	Distance from sun to a point having heliocentric parallax of one second (used for stellar distance)*
> "PS"	Pferdestärke (German "horse strength", close but not identical to "HP")
> "bushel"	U.S. bushel (not Imperial bushel), interpreted as volume
> "uk_gal"	U.K. / Imperial gallon
> "uk_qt"	U.K. / Imperial quart
