Land barrel

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The land barrel was a liquid measure in the Swiss canton of Bern . It is similar to the ribbon barrel for wine.

  • 1 land barrel = 6 hem = 24 buckets / brente = 600 maas / pint = 2400 quarters
  • 1 hem = 167.12 liters
  • 1 land barrel = 1002.72 liters
  • 1 land barrel = 1 ½ barrel (normal barrel: 4 hem = 16 buckets)

In contrast, 1 pint also had 1,649,726 milliliters , which would have corresponded to a land barrel with only 989.84 liters or, according to another source, 999 7/10 liters.
