Kappar

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The kappar , also known as cap or kappor, was a Swedish and Finnish measure of measure for grain , pulses , salt , malt , bituminous coal and lime . It was also a measure of area in Sweden, Finland, and the Russian governorate of Livonia and Estonia .

Measure of capacity

The dimensional chain from the Tunna / Tonna / Tonne was:

  • 1 tonna = 2 spans = 4 half spans = 8 fjerdingar / quarter = 32 kappar
  • 1 kappar = 1 ¾ cans / cans = 14 quarters = 56 places = 4 5/9 liters ~ 4.58 liters

Depending on the goods, the tonna had different numbers of kappar. The difference to 32 Kappar was the addition to the level.

  • 1 tonne of loose goods = 32 kappars = 56 cans = 7388.575 Parisian cubic inches = 146.5625 liters
  • 1 tonne of grain or coal = 36 kappars = 63 jugs = 8312.147 Parisian cubic inches = 164.8829 liters
  • 1 tonne of malt = 38 kappar = 66.5 cans = 8773.933 Parisian cubic inches = 174.0430 liters
  • 1 tonne of salt or quick lime = 34 kappars = 59.5 jugs = 7850.361 Parisian cubic inches = 155.7227 liters

Field measure

The field measure in Sweden and Finland was:

  • 1 cap / cap / cap = 154.27 square meters

The cap was also a yardstick in Riga and the Russian governorate of Livonia. A distinction was made between two dimensions: tonnage and loof position.

  • Riga and Libau 1 cap = 1.4864 ares
  • 1 cap = 1/32 ton
  • 1 tonnage = 35 caps = 14,000 square cells (Landmesser) = 52.024 ares (French)
  • 1 loof place = 25 caps = 10,000 squares = 1,600 square feet = 37.1599 ares = 22,500 engl. Square feet

Before 1815 there was 1 revisional loop position = 225 bars = 36.5782 arenas.

From 1802, a tonnage station in Estonia had 62,7073 ares and a loof station 20,9024 ares.
