Schipp

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Schipp was a measure of measure and was used for grain , salt and coal .

It is often used in literature as the Norwegian measure, whereby the Scandinavian measure would be more appropriate due to the former political conditions. Schipp corresponded to the bushel and was also known as the eighth.

The dimensional chain from the barrel , the tonde, downwards was:

  • 1 tonde = 8 Schipp = 32 quarters = 64 eighths = 144 Potter = 7007.4 Parisian cubic inches = 139 liters
  • 1 pot = 0.9653 liters
  • 1 ship = 874 Parisian cubic inches (grain and salt measure)

Hard coal and Spanish salt were weighed differently to the ton of Norwegian salt of 10 bushels / Schipp = 173 liters as follows:

  • 1 ton = 8 Schipp = 176 pots = 8571 Parisian cubic inches = 170 liters

In Denmark the measure belonged to the idealized area measure . The dimensional chain was here

  • 1 Tönde = 8 Schipp = 32 Fjerdingkar = 96 Albus

The ton or 8 Schipp of so-called hard grain ( rye or barley ) as a yield determined the floor area, depending on the soil quality. The amount of hard grain was the yardstick for calculating the tax on land, forest and mills . The measure was introduced in 1690.

Area measure

The Schipp was also a measure of area in Schleswig .
