Picoliter
A picoliter (pL) is a unit of volume equal to one trillionth (10^-12) of a liter.
History/Origin
The picoliter was introduced as part of the metric system's effort to create smaller units for measuring very small volumes, especially in scientific and technological fields, during the late 20th century.
Current Use
Picoliters are commonly used in fields such as biochemistry, molecular biology, and microfluidics to measure tiny liquid volumes, such as in DNA analysis, microarray experiments, and lab-on-a-chip devices.
Barrel (Oil)
A barrel (bbl) is a unit of volume primarily used to measure quantities of oil and petroleum products, equivalent to 42 US gallons or approximately 159 liters.
History/Origin
The barrel originated as a measure for liquid goods in the 19th century, initially used in the brewing and distilling industries. Its use for oil measurement became standardized in the early 20th century, with the 42-gallon size becoming the industry standard in the United States.
Current Use
The barrel remains the standard unit of measurement for crude oil and petroleum products globally, used in trading, production, and inventory management within the oil industry.
