Pan (unit)
The pan was a measure for wood and salt . Two different sizes determined the volume.
Austria
In Austria , the wood in salt mines , primarily in the Salzkammergut , in Ischl and Hallstein, was measured accordingly. It was:
- 1 pan was 127 ¾ Viennese feet long, 14 ⅔ feet high, and logs 6 feet long.
That corresponded to 103 Prussian fathoms or 11,208 Vienna cubic feet (354 m³).
- 1 pan = 6 rods = 48 eighths = 48 × 2.5 × (1.8965 m) ³ = 818.54 cubic meters
- 1 eighth of wood = 2.5 cubic fathoms (Austrian)
Germany
In the Prussian hall it was a measure for the brine and so it was in the salt works:
- 1 pan = 5 Zober = 40 buckets = 480 Prussian quart = 0.5496 cubic meters (after = 499.2 liters)
- 1 quart of salt = 12 pans
- 48 pans = 1 chair
The pan was also calculated according to the brine quality. For this purpose, the four brine fountains around Hallmarkt in Halle, Deutscher Born, Hackeborn, Meteritz and Gutjahrbrunnen, were compared.
- 1 pan (Deutscher Born) = 1.5 pans (Gutjahrbrunnen) = 6.6 pans (Hackeborn) = 9.5 pans (Meteritzbrunnen)
