Glass (unit)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Glass was a measure of volume in the Grand Duchy of Baden . It was a liquid measure especially used in the wine trade. According to the law of December 18, 1819, it corresponded to exactly 1.5  deciliters and thus mathematically exactly 7  592,592,704,431 ⁄ 1,054,687,500,000 Parisian cubic inches , because in 1799 the meter was defined as exactly 443.296 Parisian lines . In the Dutch grain and beverage trade, the measure of glass was replaced by Maatje or Mäßchen ; which was defined there to be exactly 1 deciliter, which corresponds mathematically to exactly 5  21,749,651,477 ⁄ 527,343,750,000 Parisian cubic inches.

  • 1 glass = 3 ⁄ 20 liters = 0.15 liters ≈ 7.562 Parisian cubic inches
  • 1 measure = 10 glasses
  • 1 ohm = 10 support = 1000 glasses = 150 liters ≈ 7561.866 Parisian cubic inches
  • 1 glass = 4 bottles

The Waldecker Ohm, valid in the Principality of Waldeck and in the county of Pyrmont , had 142.82 liters and thus a glass was correspondingly smaller, because the dimensional chain was here:

  • 1 ohm = 16 ⅔ buckets of 6 measure of 4 bottles of 4 glasses
    1 glass ≈ 0.089 liters
