The butt was a measure of liquid volume equalling two hogsheads. This equated to 108 imperial gallons (490 l) for ale or 126 imperial gallons (570 l) for wine (also known as a pipe).
The official imperial cup was half an imperial pint or 10 imperial fluid ounces. It is no longer in common use, but appears in older recipe books.
