Kruschka

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kruschka was a Russian measure of volume and was reserved for liquids in trade at least since 1820. Kruschka was also called Osmuschka or Galenock. Legally, the Wedro was divided into 10 Kruschka. But there was also the older division with 8 Kruschka / Osmuschki.

  • 1 Kruschka / Osmuschka = 77 cubic inches = 80 Parisian cubic inches = 1 13/22 liters
  • 1 wedge / bucket = 610 Parisian cubic inches = 12.2989 liters
  • 1 Wedro = 10 Kruschka = 100 Tscharka

In practice, however, the bucket was divided into 6 fabrics for practical reasons. (1 Kruschka = 1/6 Wedro). That resulted in a slight deviation of the Velte or the Quarter.

  • 1 Kruschka or Asmin = 10 Tscharka
  • 1 Tschetwert = ¼ Miedro = 2 Kruschka
  • 1 Kruschka = 1.22989 liters
  • 1 charka = 2 chkalik = 0.122989 liters
  • 320 Kruschka / Osmuschki = 1 Sarckowaja Votschka / (barrel)

The dimensional chain was

  • 1 Botschka / barrel / barrel = 1 1/9 Pipe = 2 2/9 Oxhoft = 3 ⅓ Ohm = 13 ⅓ Anchor = 26 ⅔ Steekan = 40 Wedro = 66 ⅔ Quarter / Russian Velte = 320 Stof / Stoof = 400 Kruschka = 533 ½ Bierbouteille = 640 Weinbouteille = 4000 Tscharka

In another respect 1 Tscharka = 4/25 Weinbouteille = 2/15 Bierbouteille = 1/10 Stof

Half the volume of the kruschka was called a polukruschka .
