What are Gigaliter and Tun

A gigaliter (GL) is a metric unit of volume that is equivalent to one billion liters. It's a measure typically used for larger volumes of liquid such as in reservoirs, large scale water treatment facilities, or in reference to vast quantities of beverages. The gigaliter helps in expressing quantities that would otherwise require millions or billions of liters, which can be cumbersome and less intuitive to understand.

A tun is an old English unit of volume used for wines and other liquids. One tun is equivalent to 252 wine gallons, which is approximately 954 liters. Historically, it was used in trade and commerce, particularly in the wine industry. Today, tuns are still used in some contexts, such as in brewing beer in large quantities or referencing the capacity of large barrels or casks in wineries.
