Pint

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pintchen , also Pintgen or Pintger , was a regionally shaped liquid measure in Cologne and the Rhineland and can be understood as a trivialization of the measure of pint . It was used in connection with alcoholic beverages.

The measure belonged to the small volume measures and ranged from 16 ¾ Parisian cubic inches to 19 Parisian cubic inches. That corresponded to about 1/3 liter or in decimal 0.33246 liters , so was

  • 1 pin = 0.33246 liters (calculated from ohms: 1 pintger = 0.33225 liters)
    • 1 quarter = 4 measures = 16 pints
    • 1 ohm = 416 pints = 138.22 liters
  • 1 hat (mutsje) = ½ pin = 0.1516 liters
