Rump (unit)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The rump was a measure of weight in various salt works .

A rump was also the capacity of a box . The box was the vessel with which the production was carried to the trolley. Since Rump and Kiepe were alike in terms of the amount of salt , there was an occasional measure substitute Kiepe . The carrying device could hold a man's payload, the hundredweight .

A salt works often had three pans per boiler house, and the entire contents of each pan were called sweet . For Suss, the conjectures allow the derivation from sud . A sweet was the yield of a settlement from a pan, 49.76 liters or 15.12 kilograms in weight .

  • 1 rump = 45.36 kilograms
  • 1 rump = 3 sweet = 3 pan yields
  • 1 Öseammer = 3 rump = 149.28 liters
