Bulto corriente

The bulto corriente was a unit of mass (measure of weight) in Peru and Chile and was considered a freight weight. Bulto, meaning a ball, had been used as half the load of a mule . It happened that a load of 175 pounds was saddled.

1 Bulto corriente = ½ Carga = 75 pounds (= 69 pounds plus 0.4 lot (Prussia) = 34507.36 grams )
- 1 carga / load = 6 arrobas = 150 pounds
