It is an unfortunately obsolete tradition without any link with the modern science and technique.

The US is one of the 3 remaining countries that still use Imperial (old British) units to measure distance. They therefore uses feet, inches and miles. The rest of the world uses the international standard decimal units relating to the Metre.
The main reason the U.S. continues to use the Imperial system is the significant cultural and historical entrenchment of these units in everyday life, education, and industry. Many Americans are familiar with and accustomed to feet, pounds, and gallons, which creates resistance to change. Additionally, the cost and logistical challenges of transitioning to the metric system, including re-education and retooling of industries, contribute to the ongoing use of the Imperial system.
Use this formula: cubic feet x 7.48 = gallons (US measure). To be more exact, use 7.48051948 instead of 7.48.
You can't convert pounds (lbs) to gallons. Pounds is a measure of weight, gallons is a volume measure. The box weighs about 8½ pounds. It has a gallon bottle of water in it. One US gallon of pure water weighs about 8.35 pounds. One US gallon of gasoline weighs about 6.25 pounds (at 72°F). One US gallon of milk weighs about 8.6 pounds. One US gallon of mercury weighs about 113 pounds. Stay away from mercury! It is poisonous!
Besides the US, Liberia and Myanmar (formerly Burma) still use feet and inches.
We have our own system in the US because we're stuborn. Mass we use pounds and length we use inches, feet, miles. Volume is the same as well as time.
30 cubic feet of water at 8.34 pounds per US gallon equates to ~1,871.63 pounds of water.

Divide the pounds by 2.204623 (= approx 2.205). It is not just a European measure but an International one. All developed countries and most developing countries use the SI system. The countries that still use pounds mainly are the US, Burma, Liberia and some Caribbean islands.
