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 Deciliters
A deciliter (dL) = 0.1 L = 100 mL - the universal blood-test reporting unit: blood glucose in mg/dL, haemoglobin in g/dL, cholesterol in mg/dL, BAC in g/dL. Normal fasting glucose <100 mg/dL; dangerous BAC >0.3 g/dL. Also the primary volumetric cooking unit in Scandinavian recipes (Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland). 1 dL = 0.1 L.
