Default alignment:

{| class="wikitable sortable"
! Example # !! fl. oz. !! pints !! quarts !! gallons
|-
| 1 || {{decimal-align|{{convert|1|usoz|uspt usqt usgal|disp=tablecen}}}}
|-
| 2 || {{decimal-align|{{convert|10|usoz|uspt usqt usgal|disp=tablecen}}}}
|-
| 3 || {{decimal-align|{{convert|100|usoz|uspt usqt usgal|disp=tablecen}}}}
|}
Example # fl. oz. pints quarts gallons
1 1 0.063 0.031 0.0078
2 10 0.63 0.31 0.078
3 100 6.3 3.1 0.78

Explicit alignment of certain columns:

{| class="wikitable sortable"
! Example # !! fl. oz. !! pints !! quarts !! gallons
|-
| 1 || {{decimal-align|{{convert|1|usoz|uspt usqt usgal|disp=tablecen}}|left1=75|left4=25}}
|-
| 2 || {{decimal-align|{{convert|10|usoz|uspt usqt usgal|disp=tablecen}}|left1=75|left4=25}}
|-
| 3 || {{decimal-align|{{convert|100|usoz|uspt usqt usgal|disp=tablecen}}|left1=75|left4=25}}
|}
Example # fl. oz. pints quarts gallons
1 1 0.063 0.031 0.0078
2 10 0.63 0.31 0.078
3 100 6.3 3.1 0.78
