What is one metric cup equivalent to in liters?

A metric cup is exactly 250 milliliters, which is one quarter of a liter.

What industries commonly use hectoliters for volume measurement?

Hectoliters are commonly used in brewing, viticulture, agricultural bulk storage, and other industrial volume reporting.

Why might there be rounding errors converting many metric cups to hectoliters?

Because metric cups are small compared to hectoliters, converting large numbers of them can introduce rounding inaccuracies.
