About these units
Gill (US) (gi)
The US gill equals 118.294 mL, representing one-quarter of a US pint. Historically used in measuring alcoholic beverages, the gill once played a significant role in tavern regulations, distilling, and bartending. Its usage declined sharply after Prohibition and continued to fade as ounces and milliliters became preferred for drink recipes and consumer packaging. However, some old cocktail manuals still specify gills, and certain traditional American spirits were originally bottled in gill-based volumes. The gill illustrates the rich historical diversity of volumetric units in American culinary and beverage culture.
CCF (ccf)
The abbreviation CCF stands for centum cubic feet, meaning 100 cubic feet. It is widely used by water and natural gas utilities to measure residential and industrial consumption. Water bills in many US cities list usage in CCF, balancing numerical convenience with practical scale. For example, a household may consume 5–12 CCF per month, depending on climate and household size. Because natural gas companies also use CCF, the unit plays a central role in energy billing, conservation programs, and environmental reporting. It is a key bridge between technical engineering measurements and everyday consumer usage.
