So let's talk about barels....

A barrel is one of several units of volume, with dry barrels, fluid barrels (UK beer barrel, U.S. beer barrel), oil barrel, etc. The volume of some barrel units is double others, with various volumes in the range of about 100–200 litres (22–44 imp gal; 26–53 US gal)....

US dry barrel: 7,056 cubic inches (115.6 L) (~3.28 bushel).
Defined as length of stave 281⁄2 in (72 cm), diameter of head 171⁄8 in (43 cm), distance between heads 26 in (66 cm), circumference of bulge 64 in (1.6 m) outside measurement; representing as nearly as possible 7,056 cubic inches; and the thickness of staves not greater than 4⁄10 in (10 mm)[1] ([Ø ≈ 20.37 in/51.7 cm]). Any barrel that is 7,056 cubic inches is recognized as equivalent.

US barrel for cranberries 5,826 cubic inches (95.5 L) (~2.71 bushel)
Defined as length of stave 281⁄2 in (72 cm), diameter of head 161⁄4 in (41 cm), distance between heads 251⁄4 in (64 cm), circumference of bulge 581⁄2 in (1.49 m) outside measurement; and the thickness of staves not greater than 4⁄10 in (10.16 mm)[1] ([Ø ≈18.62 in/47.3 cm]). No equivalent in cubic inches is given in the statute, but later regulations specify it as 5,826 cubic inches.[2]

So let's "find the barels" game:
