Current Use
It is currently used in scientific research, medical measurements, and engineering to quantify small volumes accurately, particularly in microscopy, microfluidics, and material testing.
Hogshead
A hogshead is a large unit of volume traditionally used for measuring liquids such as wine, beer, and spirits, equivalent to approximately 63 gallons or 238 liters.
History/Origin
