About these units
Tun (tun)
A tun is a historical large cask unit commonly used in the wine and brewing industries, typically defined as 252 imperial gallons, or roughly 954 liters. It represented one of the largest standardized cask sizes in medieval and early modern Europe. Originally used for transporting wine, ale, and oil, the tun played an important role in commerce and maritime trade. Because taxes and tariffs were often levied per tun, its definition became central to economic regulation. The size also reflected the maximum volume that could be reliably transported in wooden casks without structural failure. Though obsolete today, the tun provides valuable insight into historical logistics, taxation, and the evolution of standardized container sizes in European trade networks.
Dekaliter (daL)
A dekaliter equals 10 liters and is used primarily in agricultural planning, winery operations, and breweries. Wine production volumes, for instance, are sometimes recorded in dekaliters because it provides a manageable number between the hectoliter and liter scales. In beverage industries, daL simplifies recordkeeping by avoiding excessively large numbers when cataloging batches or tank capacities. Though uncommon in everyday use, the dekaliter plays a practical role in sectors dealing with medium-scale liquid quantities.
