How to Convert US Bushels to Imperial Bushels

To convert us bushels to imperial bushels, multiply the dry volume by the following conversion ratio: 0.968939 imperial bushels/us bushel.

Since one us bushel is equal to 0.968939 imperial bushels, you can use this simple formula to convert:

imperial bushels = us bushels × 0.968939

The dry volume in imperial bushels is equal to the dry volume in us bushels multiplied by 0.968939.

For example, here's how to convert 5 us bushels to imperial bushels using the formula above.

imperial bushels = (5 bu (US) × 0.968939) = 4.8446949 bu (UK)

How Many Imperial Bushels Are in a US Bushel?

There are 0.968939 imperial bushels in a us bushel, which is why we use this value in the formula above.

1 bu (US) = 0.968939 bu (UK)|1 bu (UK) = 1.0320567 bu (US)

Our us bushel to imperial bushel calculator automatically converts your dry volume measurements with full decimal and scientific precision across US customary, imperial, and SI metric standards.

US Bushels and imperial bushels are both units used to measure dry volume. Keep reading to learn more about each unit.

What Is a US Bushel?

A us bushel is a unit of dry volume equal to 35.2390702 liters (L), the base unit for dry volume. Standard US agricultural bushel (2,150.42 in³ ≈ 35.239 L). [1]

The us bushel is classified as a US customary unit of dry volume. US Bushels can be abbreviated as bu (US); for example, 1 us bushel can be written as 1 bu (US).

When working with us bushels (bu (US)) in formulas or technical specifications, always verify whether your target system uses SI metric, US customary, or British imperial standards.

In practice, us bushels (bu (US)) are widely used across standard dry volume applications within US customary workflows, engineering documentation, and technical data sheets.

What Is an Imperial Bushel?

An imperial bushel is a unit of dry volume equal to 36.36872 liters (L), the base unit for dry volume. UK Imperial bushel equal to 8 Imperial gallons (36.36872 L). [2]

The imperial bushel is classified as a US customary and imperial unit of dry volume. Imperial Bushels can be abbreviated as bu (UK); for example, 1 imperial bushel can be written as 1 bu (UK).

When working with imperial bushels (bu (UK)) in formulas or technical specifications, always verify whether your target system uses SI metric, US customary, or British imperial standards.

In practice, imperial bushels (bu (UK)) are widely used across standard dry volume applications within US customary and imperial workflows, engineering documentation, and technical data sheets.

When converting dry volume between us bushels (bu (US)) and imperial bushels (bu (UK)), keep full floating-point precision (1 bu (US) = 0.968939 bu (UK); 1 bu (UK) = 1.0320567 bu (US)) during intermediate calculations and round only the final imperial bushel figure to match your instrument tolerance.
