Wecht

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Wecht was an Austrian volume and grain measure in Styria and was equated with the Graz quarter . Due to small differences, this equation is not exact. A Wecht had about 8/9 Graz quarters.

1 Wecht = 8 Maaßl / Maassel / Maass = 1.29844 Metzen (Wiener) = 4025.8 Parisian cubic inches = 79.89 liters
640 Wecht = 831 Metzen (Viennese)
