What is a tun in volume measurement?

A tun is a traditional English unit of liquid volume typically used for large casks, historically defined as about 252 wine gallons or roughly 954 litres.

Why convert tun to microliter [µL]?

Converting from tun to microliter allows historical large liquid volumes to be expressed in precise small units suitable for scientific analysis and archival documentation.

Are conversions from tun to microliter exact?

No, because the tun has varied by region and era, conversions use an approximate modern value and should be treated accordingly.
