Barrel (Us)
A barrel (US) is a unit of volume primarily used to measure liquids such as oil and other petroleum products, equivalent to 42 US gallons or approximately 159 liters.
History/Origin
The barrel originated as a measure for trading and storing liquids like beer and wine in barrels. Its size varied historically, but the US standard was established in the 19th century for consistency in the oil industry, becoming widely adopted for measuring petroleum products.
Current Use

Picoliter
A picoliter (pL) is a unit of volume equal to one trillionth (10^-12) of a liter.
History/Origin
The picoliter was introduced as part of the metric system's effort to create smaller units for measuring very small volumes, especially in scientific and technological fields, during the late 20th century.
Current Use
Picoliters are commonly used in fields such as biochemistry, molecular biology, and microfluidics to measure tiny liquid volumes, such as in DNA analysis, microarray experiments, and lab-on-a-chip devices.
