Unit Definition (hogshead [UK])
The hogshead [UK] is a traditional unit of volume for liquids. Originally the hogshead varied with the contents, often being equal to 48 gallons of ale; 54 of beer; 60 of cider; 63 of oil, honey, or wine; or 100 of molasses. In the British imperial system, the hogshead equals 1/2 butt, or 52.5 imperial gallons (8.429 cubic feet, or 238.67 liters). The British imperial and American hogsheads are almost exactly the same size. No one seems to know for sure how this unit got its unusual name.

Unit Definition (ounce [UK, liquid])
The ounce [UK, liquid] is a traditional unit of liquid volume, also called the fluid ounce to avoid confusion with the weight ounce. In the British Imperial system there are 20 fluid ounces in an imperial pint, so each fluid ounce represents about 1.733 871 cubic inches or 28.413 063 milliliters. A British fluid ounce weighs exactly one ounce at a specified temperature and pressure.
