What is a deciliter used for?

A deciliter is commonly used in cooking, food recipes, clinical lab measurements, and small-scale chemical volumes where 100 mL increments are practical.

Where is the UK barrel measurement applied?

UK barrels are traditionally used in British brewing to measure volumes of beer, ale, and cider, including in production sizing, pub cellar stocks, and legal trade records.

Why might conversions between deciliters and UK barrels produce small decimal values?

Because the UK barrel is a much larger unit (about 163.65924 liters) than a deciliter (0.1 liters), the resulting conversion numbers are very small decimals.
