Volume measure
The dimensional chain was in Madras
Individual values were
- The Parah = 3097.8 Parisian cubic inches = 61.45 liters (= 61.44889 liters
- The Marcal = 619.56 Parisian cubic inches = 12.29 liters
- The puddy = 77.445 Parisian cubic inches = 1.5362 liters

The dimensional chain in Masulipatam ( Madras Presidency )
- 1 Garce = 3 Candies = 240 Meecols = 1440 Mannifahs = 2880 Zavahs = 5760 Solahs = 11,520 Arsolahs = 23,040 Gidsdahs
- 1 garce = 18 15/16 Imperial-Quarters (engl.)
Was in Colombo
- 1 Garce / Gahrs = 200 Parrahs = 5 Amomams

Garce was a Vietnamese measure of volume for dry goods and grain (grain measure) and so was:
- 1 garce = 44.86 hectoliters
Weight measure
The Garssa / Garce was a unit of mass (measure of weight) in Pondicherry and Madras. The measure was intended for dry goods, but quite different.
- Pondicherry: 1 Garssa = 600 Mercals ≈ 7200 pounds (French) (wheat)
- Pondicherry: 1 Garssa / Garce = 145 ½ baskets (1 K. 24.491 kilograms) (rice)
- Madras 1 Garssa = 150 baskets ( rice )
Length measure
Notwithstanding, the Garce was also a smaller measure of length in the British Presidency of Bombay .
- 16 Garce = 1 Gös (Gaz) = 32 inches = 360.3 Parisian lines = 0.8128 meters
- in Calcutta 1 Gös (Guz) = 319.77 Parisian lines = 0.72135 meters
