[nb 2] Note that a 252-gallon tun of wine has a mass of approximately 2060 pounds, [6] between a short ton (2000 pounds) and a long ton (2240 pounds). The tun is approximately the volume of a cylinder with both diameter and height of 42 inches, as the gallon was originally a cylinder with diameter of 7 inches and height of 6.
US dry barrel: 7,056 cubic inches (115.6 litres; 3.3 US bushels) . Defined as length of stave 28 + 1 ⁄ 2 in (72 cm), diameter of head 17 + 1 ⁄ 8 in (43 cm), distance between heads 26 in (66 cm), circumference of bulge 64 in (160 cm) outside measurement; representing as nearly as possible 7,056 cubic inches; and the thickness of staves not greater than 4 ⁄ 10 in (10 mm) [2] (diameter ≈ ...
The table of imperial avoirdupois mass is the same as the United States table up to one pound, but above that point, the tables differ. The imperial system has a hundredweight, defined as eight stone of 14 lb each, or 112 lb ( 50.802 345 44 kg ), whereas a US hundredweight is 100 lb ( 45.359 237 kg ).
Wheat at 13.5% moisture by weight: 60 lb [7] (27.2155 kg) Soybeans at 13% moisture by weight: 60 lb [ 10 ] (27.2155 kg) Other specific values are defined (and those definitions may vary within different jurisdictions, including from state to state in the United States) for other grains, oilseeds, fruits, vegetables, coal, hair and many other ...
The official spelling litre is used in most English-speaking nations; the notable exception is the United States where the spelling liter is preferred. The United States measures weight in pounds (avoirdupois), while recipes in the UK tend to include both imperial and metric measures, following the advice of the Guild of Food Writers. [6]
The Imperial Russian apothecaries' weight was defined by setting the grain (Russian: гран) to be exactly seven-fifths of a dolya. The only unit name shared between the two was the funt (pound), but the one in the apothecaries' system is exactly seven-eighths of the ordinary funt.
A 100 °L malt extract produces 0.00035 mol maltose in 60 min, or 5.8 μmol/min, or 5.8 IU of enzyme activity in 0.1 mL of a 5 g/100 mL (5%) infusion. The 0.1 mL of this infusion is equivalent to 0.005 g of malt. Therefore, 5.8 IU/0.005 g of malt = 1160 IU/gram of malt. 100 °L is equivalent to 1160 IU per gram of malt (or 526,176 IU per pound).
If a wort was said to be "26 lbs. gravity per barrel" [6] it meant that a standard barrel of 36 imperial gallons of the wort weighed 26 pounds more than a barrel of pure water. [6] The actual measurement was by saccharometer (i.e. hydrometer) correcting for temperature by a calibration scale or else by a special brewer's slide rule . [ 7 ]
