Rasière

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The rasière , also raziere , was a French measure of volume. As a measure of grain , oats have always been an exception. The Rasière was characterized by deviating values ​​in the area of ​​application. In Belgium , which was united with the Netherlands , these dimensions were introduced in 1816. Everyone had their own terms for the French dimensions. In Belgium, the law of June 18, 1836 with the new French measures made the measure mandatory. The razor was replaced by hectoliters .
