What is a dekaliter (daL)?

A dekaliter (daL) is a metric volume unit equal to 10 liters, commonly used for medium-sized liquid volumes.

What is a tun in volume measurement?

A tun is a traditional English unit for large liquid volumes, historically about 954 liters, used especially for wine or ale casks.

Why might the tun volume vary historically?

The tun’s size changed regionally and over time due to different definitions of the gallon, so older sources may have different values.

What Is This Tool?

This converter facilitates volume conversion from dekaliter units, a metric measurement equal to 10 liters, to the traditional English tun, a large cask volume used historically. It is ideal for translating modern metric volumes into historical or archival contexts.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the volume value in dekaliters (daL).
Select the unit to convert from as dekaliter and the unit to convert to as tun.
Click the convert button to get the equivalent volume in tuns.
Review example conversions to understand the process better.

Key Features

Converts volume units from dekaliters (daL) to tuns accurately based on modern approximations.
Supports applications in brewing, distilling, historical trading, and archival research.
Browser-based and easy to use with a simple interface for efficient volume unit conversion.
Provides examples to illustrate conversion calculations clearly.

Examples

10 daL converts to approximately 0.10483 tun.
50 daL converts to approximately 0.52415 tun.

Common Use Cases

Converting medium-sized liquid container volumes into traditional large cask units for brewing processes.
Translating historical wine or ale cask capacities in archival records.
Assisting in archival and engineering work by converting old volume measurements into modern metric equivalents for documentation.

Tips & Best Practices

Use the converter to approximate volumes when dealing with historical or regional definitions of the tun.
Consider the large scale of the tun when converting small quantities, as results may be small decimal numbers.
For precise historical data, consult specific local standards and calibrations of the tun unit.

Limitations

The size of a tun has changed over time and across regions, so conversions are approximations based on modern values.
This tool does not account for regional variations or historical calibrations of the tun.
Small volume conversions may result in very small decimal values due to the tun's large size.
