Tub (unit)
The tub , also called Zober , was a measure of capacity in Germany and Switzerland . The measure had four major uses. It was used as a measure of grain , a measure of liquid (wine measure), a measure of salt and a measure of lime and coal. The tub can be compared to the bushel . In Lausanne ( Canton of Vaud ) in Switzerland, the measure was also called Müdd / Muid.
Grain measure
The Zuber, introduced in the Grand Duchy of Baden in 1810 , was 1500 liters or 15 hectoliters as a grain measure . The default dimensional chain was
- 1 tub = 10 painters = 100 sesters = 1000 measuring cups = 10,000 cups
- 1 tub = 75,618 8/9 Parisian cubic inches = 1500 liters
liquid measure
The tub as a measure of liquid was mainly used in Switzerland in the canton of Bünden . It was true here
- 1 tub = 10 quarters = 80 measures = 320 quartlets = 5360 Parisian cubic inches = 106.5 liters
- 1 Fuder = 8 tubs = 80 quarters = 640 measures = 2460 quartlets = 42,880 Parisian cubic inches = 850 liters
Coal measure
In the canton of Lucerne and in the canton of Schaffhausen it was a coal measure, equivalent to the Swiss painter and in
- Lucerne 1 tub = 10 quarters
- Schaffhausen 1 tub = 25 quarters = 2 ½ Malter = 18,904.664 Parisian cubic inches = 375 liters
In the Kingdom of Württemberg the tub was known as the lime and coal measure. The dimensional chain was
- 1 tub = 5 immi = 40 measure = 3704 2/5 Parisian cubic inches = 73.5 liters
- 1 tub = 20 Württemberg. Cubic feet in steel mills
Measure of salt
In Prussian Saxony , the tub was used as a measure of salt in the salt works in Halle .
- 1 tub of brine = 8 buckets ( filling buckets ) = 480 quart
- 5 tubs = 1 pan
- 60 tubs = 1 quart
- 240 tubs = 1 chair
