Steften
A Steften was an old Bavarian and Austrian water measure , according to which the annual price for supplied well water was determined. In a narrower sense, it was an indication of the pipe diameter of water pipes that allowed a fixed amount of water to pass through in a unit of time. There was also a water stewardship .
- 1 Steften = 2 Bavarian measures per minute = 2.18 liters per minute, which corresponds to 0.086 cubic feet per minute = 86 decimal cubic inches per minute
- 1 Steften = 6 Viennese measure per minute, which corresponds to 8.491 liters of water per minute.
