Best Answer

A tun is 2 pipes (or butts); 3 firkins, puncheons, tertians; 4 hogsheads; 6 tierces; 8 barrels; 14 rundlets; 210 imperial gallons; or 252 U.S. gallons.

Note: tuns are almost exclusively used for measuring wine. Also, tuns should not be confused with tons, a unit of weight.

A tun was never a measurement of weight, it was a unit of volume, in particular a volume of wine.

A ton is a measure of weight equal to 2,000 pounds (short ton) or 2,240 pounds (long ton). A tonne, also called a metric ton, is a measure of mass equal to 1,000 kilograms, with a weight of about 2,205 pounds or 9,800 Newtons.
