It takes approximately 8.4 units of blood to equal a gallon.


A unit of blood is not quite a pint, it's closer to 450 milliliters (1 pint is roughly 473 milliliters).

There are approximately 10 pints in a gallon, and each pint of blood is equivalent to about 0.473176 liters. Therefore, to convert pints to gallons, we divide by 10 to get 0.947352 gallons per pint. So, to find out how many units of blood make a gallon, we divide 1 gallon by 0.947352 gallons per pint, which gives us approximately 1.055 units of blood in a gallon.

Most blood collection facilities use 500 mL collection sets for volunteer whole blood donations. An additional 50 mL may be collected for donor screening tests.

A unit of RBC's contains approximately 300 mL, consisting of red cells and additive solution.

Depends on what the "unit of water" is. If the unit is gallons, then 1 gallon equals a gallon. If you mean quarts, then it takes 4. If you mean cups, it's 16. If you mean ounces, it's 128. If your unit is metric, then there are approximately 3.785 liters in a gallon, with conversions from smaller or larger metric units being the product of this 3.785 and a positive or negative power of 10. If your "unit of water" is a weight, however, it gets a bit more complicated. Varying temperature and pressure effect the density of water, but, in general, it takes about 8 pounds of water to make a gallon (a pint (1/8 of a gallon) of water weighs about a pound, which is why a dry ounce (1/16 of a pound) shares its name with a liquid ounce (1/16 of a pint)). It is not by chance that a pint of water weighs about a pound. The liquid measurement we call a pint was defined as the volume of water that weighed exactly one pound. In fact, the only reason one has to use the word "about" in this equation is that the density of water changes slightly with temperature and pressure, so, in the real world, a pint of water almost never weighs exactly a pound, but for any temperature at which water is still liquid, and at any pressure that any human is likely to ever encounter, the weight of a pint of water is always fairly close to a pound.

Around eight. The US gallon was smaller than the Imperial gallon (it was based on the British wine gallon) which was set to equal ten pounds per gallon of water. The US gallon comes in around 8.35 lbs.

A gallon is 8 pints. Bear in mind that a US pint is 16oz, where a British pint is 20oz.
