About Tuns
A tun = 4 hogsheads = 252 US gallons ≈ 953.9 L - the largest traditional wine cask and origin of the English word 'ton': a full tun of wine weighed ~1 long ton. English shipping law rated cargo capacity in 'tuns burden'. Scottish distilleries use 'tun rooms' for large vatting/blending vats. 1 tun = 252 US gal = 2 pipes = 4 hogsheads ≈ 953.9 L.
About Cubic Inches
A cubic inch (in³) is the volume of a cube with sides of one inch (25.4 mm), equal to approximately 16.387 mL. It is widely used in US engineering and manufacturing - engine displacement was traditionally described in cubic inches (a 350 in³ V8 engine displaces 5.7 liters), and product specifications for items sold in the US frequently reference cubic inches. Speaker cabinet volumes, wine bottle capacities in older US standards, refrigerator compartment sizes, and box shipping calculations in imperial units all use cubic inches. One liter equals approximately 61.024 cubic inches.
