What is a centiliter?

A centiliter (cL) is a metric unit of volume equal to one hundredth of a liter, or 10 milliliters.

What does a hogshead measure?

A hogshead is a traditional volume unit for liquids, especially wine, beer, and spirits, commonly about 63 US gallons or 54 imperial gallons, used mainly for cask sizes.

Can the centiliter to hogshead conversion be exact?

No, because hogshead sizes vary by region and product, conversion results are approximate and best used for large or historical volumes.
