About Barrel (US) (bbl (US))
Definition
The US barrel is a unit of volume equal to 31.5 US gallons (about 119.24 liters), used for various liquid commodities.
Mathematical Relationship
1 US barrel = 31.5 US gal = 119.24 L = 0.11924 m³ = 4,032 US fl oz.
Conversion Formula
To liters: multiply by 119.24. To US gallons: multiply by 31.5. To UK barrels: multiply by 0.729.
Practical Applications
Brewery production volumes, whiskey barrel aging, wine production, and bulk liquid commodity trading.
Interesting Facts
A bourbon whiskey barrel is 53 gallons (200 L), larger than the standard US liquid barrel. Barrel sizes vary by commodity and country.
Common Mistakes
Confusing the US liquid barrel (31.5 gal) with the petroleum barrel (42 gal). Always specify which barrel type.
Educational Tips
There are several different 'barrel' sizes. US liquid = 31.5 gal, US oil = 42 gal, UK = 36 imperial gal. Always specify!
About Cubic Centimeter (cm³)
Definition
The cubic centimeter is a unit of volume equal to a cube with edges of one centimeter (10⁻⁶ m³), and is exactly equal to one milliliter.
Mathematical Relationship
1 cm³ = 10⁻⁶ m³ = 1 mL = 1,000 mm³ = 0.001 L. One liter contains exactly 1,000 cm³.
Conversion Formula
To liters: divide by 1,000. To cubic inches: multiply by 0.0610237. To fluid ounces (US): multiply by 0.033814.
Practical Applications
Engine displacement (e.g., 2,000 cc engine), medical syringe volumes, measuring cooking ingredients, and 3D printing volumes.
Interesting Facts
1 cm³ of water at 4 °C weighs exactly 1 gram — this relationship was the original basis for defining the gram.
Common Mistakes
Using 'cc' in formal scientific writing — cm³ or mL is preferred in SI contexts. Also, confusing cm³ with m³ (off by a factor of 10⁶).
Educational Tips
A sugar cube is roughly 1 cm³. Remember: 1 cm³ = 1 mL = 1 cc — three notations for the same volume.
