Eight ring
The eight ring , also called aech ring and just eight for short , was an Austrian measure of volume for drinks. It was already mentioned by Leopold I in the "Zehent- und Bergrechtsordnung" of August 31, 1666 and in the statutes of June 21, 1689. From January 23, 1659 a measure was issued and in it the eight-ring is equal to the Viennese measure. The term is gradually falling victim to oblivion.
- 1 eight-ring = 1.4817 liters
