Measure of salt

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The term salt measure , like wine measure , beer measure or grain measure, stands for a rough assignment of old measures and weights to the units with which the commercial salt was measured. Often derived from the measurements for grain, it was not always just a measure of volume or a measure of weight , but also a piece measure (e.g. a bag).

Terms from salt mining or salt boiling found their way: salt ship, disk, basket, pan , chair . Occasionally the practicable amount of salt deviated from the amount subject to the salt tax , despite the same name.
