Seam
Seam (German: Saum ) was an English measure of weight ( grain measure ) for dry goods, especially malt , salt and glass .
The dimensional chain was
- 1 Seam / Quarter = 2 Cornock = 4 Strikes = 8 Bushels = 32 Pecks = 64 Gallons = 128 Bottles = 256 Quarts = 512 Pints = 14,408 Parisian Cubic Inches
- The volume was 1 quarter = 2.9078 hectoliters
- Malt weight 1 seam = 1 quarter = 8 bushels
- Glass weight 1 seam = 24 stones / stone = 120 pounds ( Avoirdupois )
In the case of salt, the bushel (1801 Parisian cubic inches) differed, because crushed salt and salt in pieces were differentiated.
- Weight of salt 1 seam = 8 bushels
