| Convert from fifth to pipe [UK] |
Unit Definition (fifth) The fifth is a traditional U.S. unit of liquid volume equal to 4/5 quart, which is the same as 1/5 gallon. The fifth contains exactly 46.2 cubic inches, or about 757.084 milliliters. This unit is an American version of the traditional bottle. Unit Definition (pipe [UK]) The pipe [UK] like the butt, the pipe is a traditional unit of liquid volume generally equal to 2 hogsheads. In Britain it's more complicated, because traditional British hogsheads were of different sizes depending on what they contained. The British pipe was usually used as a wine measure, but even different types of wine had different size pipes.
