A barrel is one of several units of volume applied in various contexts: there are dry barrels; fluid barrels, such as the British beer barrel and American beer barrel; oil barrels, etc. For historical reasons, the volumes of some barrel units are roughly double the volumes of others; volumes in common use range approximately from 100 to 200 litres. In many connections, the term drum is used almost interchangeably with barrel.
