Dry volume refers to the measurement of capacity for dry goods like grains, seeds, flour, and other non-liquid substances. The key difference from liquid volume is that some measurement systems use different unit sizes for dry vs. liquid measurements. For example, a US dry gallon (4.405 liters) is larger than a US liquid gallon (3.785 liters). The metric system uses the same units for both, but traditional systems often have separate units.
