Barrel

The US dry barrel is a traditional American unit of volume used primarily for agricultural produce such as fruits and vegetables. Defined by the Standard Barrel Act of 1915, one US dry barrel equals 7,056 cubic inches, 105 US dry quarts, or approximately 0.1156 cubic meters (115.6 liters). Distinct from the petroleum barrel, this standard established uniform dimensions for fruit and vegetable shipping containers across the United States.
