Oil measure

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The term oil measure , like wine measure , salt measure , beer measure or grain measure, stands for a rough assignment of old measures and weights to the units with which the commodity oil was measured. Often derived from the measures for wine , it was not always just a measure of volume, but was also an occasional measure of weight.

Arbage

Arroba

The arroba was a measure of liquids such as wine and oil. In Spain there was a special measure for honey in Castile .

  • The arroba de miel was used for honey.
  • 1 Arroba de miel = 32 Cuartillos = 48 Libbra

Barill

The barill was not only a measure of salt or wine, but also an oil measure. With different dimensions in different places and different division in small units of measure, it was an important measure. In Rome it was used for oil

  • 1 barill = 28 boccalli = 112 fogliette = 448 quartucci
  • 1 barill = 57.4805 liters

was true for wine

  • 1 barill = 32 boccalli = 58.3416 liters

The barill was also an oil measure on the island of Sardinia .

  • 1 barill = 2 giarri = 8 quartans = 96 quartucci = 192 mesures = 1694 Parisian cubic inches = 33.59 liters
  • 1 barill (oil weight) = 32.5 kilograms
  • 1 barill = 3.5 Algheri (singular Alghero)

Bassa

The bassa was an Italian measure for liquids and varied in size depending on the material being measured. The region of its validity also made the measure inconsistent. It was a wine measure in Milan and an oil measure in Venice and Verona .

In the dimensional chain it was one of the smaller ones and this is how the measure classified itself:

  • 1 Brenta = 3 Staja = 6 Mina = 12 Quartaro = 16 Bassa = 48 Pinta = 96 Boccale

Oil measure

  • Venice 3 1/5 Bassa = 1 Miro
  • Verona 1 Bassa = 228 ⅛ Parisian cubic inches = 4.5 liters

Wine measure

  • Milan: 1 Bassa = 6 Boccali = 238 Parisian cubic inches = 4 ¾ liters
  • 1 brenta = 16 bassa
  • Verona 1 Bassa = 228 ⅛ Parisian cubic inches = 4.5 liters
  • 3 1/5 bass = 1 miro
  • 129 Bassa = 1 Migliajo

Weight

In the cities, the heavy pound (Venice) = 9 und pounds and the light pound (Verona) at 13 ½ pounds per bassa

  • Venice 1 Bassa = 4452 grams = 9 ⅓ pounds (heavy)
  • Verona 1 Bassa = 4083 ¾ grams = 13½ pounds (light)

Tree oil measure

The tree oil measure was used in Frankfurt / Main for olive oil.

Carga

The carga, also called oil carga, was a measure of volume in Venezuela and was only used for alcohol.

  • 1 Carga = 2 Barrals = 4 Barralons = 7 1/2 Cortana = 30 Cuarts = 120 Quartas = 123.6 liters

Cartocce

Cartocce was a wine and oil measure in Rome . The division of the wine measure into other measures was

  • 4 cartocci = 1 foglietta
  • 16 cartocci = 1 boccale
  • 512 Cartocci = Barilo
  • 1 cartocce = 1/12 liter = 4 12/25 Parisian cubic inches

In the case of oil, this was the way to share

  • 4 cartocci = 1 foglietta
  • 16 cartocci = 1 boccale
  • 448 Cartocci = Barilo
  • 1 cartocce = ⅛ liter = 6 12/25 Parisian cubic inches

Batch

In Paris it was a measure of weight and in Marseille a measure of the volume of grain. The measure corresponds to the load. It was also a French oil measure in Montpellier:

  • Oil measure 1 batch = 4 barals = 8 emines = 16 quarters = 128 pot
  • 1 baral = 37.2924 liters = 34.264 kilograms
  • Grain measure 1 batch = 8 pannaux = 154.29 liters
  • 1 pannaux = 4 civadiers = 8 picotiens
  • 1 batch (new) = 160 liters as a practical value
  • 1 batch (old) = 8 panaux = 32 civadiers = 64 picotins = 154 4/5 liters

In Nice there was a charge for grain

  • 1 batch (new) = 159.96 liters (157.79 liters)

In Nice a batch for grain was 4 Setiers = 8 Emines In Toulon a batch for grain was 3 Setiers = 4½ Emines

In Nice there was a charge for liquids

  • 1 batch = 12 rubies = 120 piati
  • 1 Rubbio = 7.858 liters

Cugnatella

A measure of oil in the Papal States of Rome.
