Chandoo (unit)

Chandoo , also Tschünnduh / Chundoo , was a unit of volume on the island of Ceylon . It was mainly used as a fruit and grain measure. The parah was a unit of volume and mass depending on the goods.

1 Chandoo = 0.2648 liters ( calc .)

The dimensional chain was

1 load = 9 ⅜ Amomam / Amonam = 75 Parahs = 150 Marcals = 375 Cornies = 1800 Seers = 7200 Chandoos

Side consideration:

- 1 Parahs = 25.424 liters
- 1 Seer = 1.0593 liters
- 1 Amonam = 203.4 liters

According to another source, the dimensional chain and the values are different:

1 load = 9 ½ Ammonam / Amonam = 76 Parahs = 152 Marcals = 405 Cornies = 1824 Seers = 7296 Chandoos
- 1 Parahs = 25.552 liters
