Barrel (Oil)
A barrel (bbl) is a unit of volume primarily used to measure quantities of oil and petroleum products, equivalent to 42 US gallons or approximately 159 liters.
History/Origin
The barrel originated as a measure for liquid goods in the 19th century, initially used in the brewing and distilling industries. Its use for oil measurement became standardized in the early 20th century, with the 42-gallon size becoming the industry standard in the United States.
Current Use
The barrel remains the standard unit of measurement for crude oil and petroleum products globally, used in trading, production, and inventory management within the oil industry.
Decistere
Decistere (ds) is a unit of volume measurement equal to one-tenth of a litre, used primarily in some European countries for measuring liquids.
History/Origin
The decistere originated in the metric system as a subunit of the litre, introduced to facilitate smaller volume measurements. Its usage has declined with the standardization of the litre and millilitre units.
Current Use
Today, the decistere is rarely used in everyday measurements but may still appear in historical contexts or specific regional applications within certain European countries.
