What is a tun used for?

A tun is traditionally used to describe large liquid volumes in wine or ale casks, especially in historical inventories and shipping records.

Why is ccf used by utilities?

Ccf denotes hundred cubic feet and is a common volume unit for measuring water and natural gas consumption by utilities.

Can the conversion from tun to ccf be exact?

Because the tun size varied regionally and over time, and ccf is a utility-specific volume unit, conversion results are approximate.
