Common/Imperial Measurements

Many of today's Common Measures descend from the Imperial Measures of the Crimson Empire and its former wide-spread reach. These measures are commonly employed throught the eastern and central lands as well as most trade centers of the western lands.   Imperial units are displayed in italics.  

Weight Measures

1 ton/tuno = 80 bars/trinkejo = 2,000 pounds/lib
1 bar/trinkejo = 25 pounds/lib = 400 ounces/unco
1 pound/lib (lb) = 16 ounces/unco = 256 drams
1 ingot/ingoto = 1 pound/lib = 16 ounces/unco
1 ounce/unco (oz) = 20 drams/dramo = 5 coins/monero
1 coin/monero (cw) = 4 drams/dramo = 1/5 ounce/unco
1 dram/dramo (dr) = 1/4 coin/monero = 1/20 ounce/unco
 

Liquid Measures

1 tun/tun = 240 gallons/galonoj = 8 tierces
1 pipe/pipo = 1/2 tun = 120 gallons/galonoj = 4 tierces
1 tertian/terciano = 1/4 tun = 60 gallons/galonoj = 2 tierces
1 tierce = 1/8 tun/tun = 30 gallons/galonoj
1 rundlet = 1/16 tun = 15 gallons/galonoj
1 cask/barelo = 1/48 tun = 5 gallons/galonoj
1 half/duonbarelo cask = 2.5 gallons/galonoj = 10 quarts/kvartoj
1 gallon/galono (gal) = 4 quarts/kvartoj = 8 pints/pajntoj
1 quart/kvarono (qt) = 1/4 gallon/galono = 2 pints/pajntoj
1 pint/pinto (pt) = 4 gills/brankoj = 16 fluid ounces/fluidaj uncoj
1 gill/branko (gi) = 1/4 pint/pinto = 4 fluid ounces/fluidaj uncoj
1 fluid ounce/fluida unco (fl oz) = 8 fluid drams/fluida dramoj
1 fluid dram/fluida dramo (fl dr) = 1/8 fluid ounce/fluida unco = 60 minims/minimumoj
1 minim/minimumo (min) = 1/60 fluid dram/fluida dramo
 

Dry Measures

1 bushel/buŝelo (bu) = 4 pecks/bekoj
1 peck/kvaronbuŝelo (pk) = 1/4 bushel/buŝelo = 2 gallons/galonoj
1 gallon/galono (gal) = 1/2 peck/kvaronbuŝelo = 4 quarts/kvartoj
1 quart/kvarono (qt) = 1/4 gallon/galono = 2 pints/pajntoj
1 pint/pinto (pt) = 1/2 quart/kvarono = 2 cups/tasoj
1 cup/taso (c) = 1/2 pint/pinto
 

Length Measures

1 mile/mejlo (mi) = 5,280 feet/futoj = 8 furlongs/okonmejloj
1 furlong/okonmejlo (fur) = 660 feet/futoj = 220 yards/jardojn
1 fathom/klaĉo (fth) = 6 feet/futoj = 2 yards/jardojn
1 yard/jardo (yd) = 3 feet/futoy = 36 inches/colojn
1 foot/futo (ft) = 12 inches,/colojn 1/3 yard/jardo
1 inch/colo (in) = 1/12 foot/futo
 

Area Measures

1 square mile/kvadrata mejlo (sq mi) = 640 acres/akreoj
1 acre/akreo (ac) = 4,840 square yards/kvadrataj jardoj = 43,560 square feet/kvadrataj futoj
1 square yard/kvadrata jardo (sq yd) = 9 square feet/kvadrataj futoj
1 square foot/kvadrata futo (sq ft) = 144 square inches/kvadrataj coloj
1 square inch/kvadrata colo (sq in) = 0.0069 square foot/kvadrata futo
 

Common/Imperial Coin Weight

For many centuries, the standard weight of all coins of the Crimson Empire has been set to 1/80th (0.0125) lb. Many realms, some former states of the Empire, continue to use this standard coin weight to facilitate easier currency exchanges and expand the acceptance of their coins. The Common Coin Weight (cw) is also a widely accepted measurement for smaller weights.
