About dry volume units
Dry volume units measure loose solids such as grain, fruit and vegetables. They measure volume, like liquid units, but the US dry measures are a separate system based on the bushel of exactly 2150.42 cubic inches (about 35.24 L).
US dry and liquid measures with the same name differ: a US dry gallon is 268.8025 cubic inches, about 16% larger than the 231 cubic inch liquid gallon. Imperial pecks and bushels are based on the imperial gallon, so an imperial bushel (36.36872 L) is about 3.2% larger than a US bushel.
