What are Barrel and Kiloliter

A barrel, often denoted as 'bbl', is a unit of volume used to measure crude oil and other petroleum products. One standard barrel contains 42 US gallons or approximately 159 liters. The term 'barrel' dates back to the 1860s during the Pennsylvania oil boom, where actual barrels were used for transporting oil.

A kiloliter (kl), equivalent to 1,000 liters, is a metric unit of volume. It's commonly used to measure larger quantities of liquid materials or space, such as in storage tanks and swimming pools. One kiloliter is equal to one cubic meter, which helps in visualizing the amount of space the volume occupies.
