Barrel (US)

A barrel (US) is a unit of volume used in the United States. It is defined as 31.5 US gallons, which is approximately 119.240 liters. The barrel is used to measure large quantities of various liquids, including beer and other beverages.

Origin:

The barrel as a unit of measure for liquids originated in the early days of the brewing industry in the United States. The 31.5-gallon size was standardized to provide a consistent measure for trading and transporting beer and other beverages. The use of the barrel as a unit of measure has continued to the present day, despite the adoption of the metric system in many other industries.

Liter

The liter (L) is a unit of volume in the metric system. It is defined as the volume of a cube with sides that are each 10 centimeters long, which is equivalent to 1,000 cubic centimeters (cm³) or 0.001 cubic meters (m³). One liter is also equivalent to 1,000 milliliters (mL).

Origin:

The liter was originally introduced in France in the 18th century as part of the metric system during the French Revolution. It was based on the volume of 1 kilogram of water at the temperature of its maximum density, which is about 4°C. Over time, the liter became a standard unit for measuring liquids and volumes in many countries around the world. Although the liter is not an SI base unit (the SI unit of volume is the cubic meter), it is accepted for use with the SI, and it remains widely used internationally for measuring everyday volumes, such as beverages, fuel, and cooking ingredients.
