About Pipes
A pipe (also called a butt) = 2 hogsheads = 126 US gallons ≈ 477 L.

About Cubic Miles
A cubic mile (mi³) ≈ 4.168 km³ = 4.168 × 10¹² L. Lake Superior: ~2,900 mi³ (world's largest freshwater lake by surface area). Total volume of all glaciers and ice caps (excl. Antarctica and Greenland): ~170,000 mi³. Volcanic magma chamber sizes and major US aquifer volumes are sometimes quoted in cubic miles in American geoscience literature. 1 mi³ ≈ 4.168 km³.
