About Pipes
A pipe (also called a butt) = 2 hogsheads = 126 US gallons ≈ 477 L. The traditional ageing vessel for Port and Madeira: Port lodges in Vila Nova de Gaia store hundreds of thousands of pipes of Tawny, Ruby, and Vintage Port. Sherry butts (identical vessel) hold ~600 L. Craft American distilleries use pipes for extended whiskey maturation. 1 pipe = 126 US gal ≈ 477 L.
About Cubic Meters
A cubic meter (m³) is the SI derived unit of volume - the volume of a cube with sides of one meter - equal to 1,000 liters. It is the standard international unit for large fluid volumes, solid materials, and gas quantities. Concrete production and placement is measured in cubic meters; river discharge is reported in cubic meters per second (m³/s, or 'cumecs'); shipping container capacity is quoted in cubic meters; and natural gas is traded in standard cubic meters. An Olympic swimming pool holds 2,500 m³. One cubic meter of water has a mass of exactly 1,000 kg (one metric tonne).
