Bucket (unit)

The bucket was an Austrian grain measure and in the Erzgebirge it was a measure for ore , often tin stone . In Saxony , the bucket was important in the coal trade, especially in Saxon mines. The dimensions only differed in the decimal places, so that there was a fairly uniform bucket.

Grain measure

In the Austrian Grand Duchy of Transylvania was

1 bucket = 4 quarters = 8 Ur / buckets = 64 measures = 1 ½ Wiener Metzen = 92.5 liters

The deviation in Kronstadt was small and amounted to 92.557 liters (1.5048 Metzen).

1 Ur liquid measure = ⅛ grain buckets = 11.56 liters

There was a difference in measure.

The Transylvania measure was 1.445 liters to 1.415015 liters of the Vienna measure.
Here were 2 buckets = 1 mirze , a larger grain measure in Wallachia with the equivalent of 3 Viennese meatballs.

The Hungarian bucket corresponded to 2 old Pressburgers. In the trade in Knoppern (galls for dyeing) the bucket was 188.5 liters (184.2 liters = 2.995 Wiener Metzen) and this product was equated to 120 Viennese pounds. Other goods, such as cabbage licks , had a separate bucket size. In the case of rapeseed, the bucket was placed at the same time as 2 meats.

Lightness standard

In the Kingdom of Württemberg , mortar and the so-called light standard were measured according to Kübel. 1 bucket was 4 light gauge. In the case of mortar, there were 24 buckets = 1 box.

Coal measure

1 bucket = 3 bushels (Dresdner) = 322 liters = 5 bushels (Prussian) = 5 ¼ Viennese meats

Mine dimension

1 bucket = 3 quintals of ore / pewter stone
In Tyrol : 1 bucket = 1 cubic foot = 1915 Parisian cubic inches = 38 liters
In Bohemia 1 Seidel = 4 buckets = 12/25 liters
Hüttenkubeln in Poland and Germany
