A number of units of measurement were used in Hungary to measure length, area, volume, and so on. The metric system was adopted in Hungary in 1874 and has been compulsory since 1876.[1][2]
The system before the metric system was the old Vienna system.[1]
Several units were used to measure length. Some units are given below:[1][3][4]
One arsin was equal to 23.01084 in and one stab was equal to 5.18565 ft.[5]
One oka was equal from 2.78 to 3.082 lb.[5]
Several units were used to measure area. Some units are given below:[1][3]
1 hold = 4316 m2 = 1.0665 acre
1 meile2 = 6978 ha
A number of units were used to measure volume. Some units are given below:[1][3]
1 akó (eimer) = 54.30 l
1 halbe = 1⁄64 akó
1 icce = 1⁄64 akó
1 metzen = 62.53 L
1 akó = 62.53 L
One fass was equal to 52.545 gallons.[5] The value of eimer was varied from 15.03 (in Upper Hungary) to 19.37 (in Lower Hungary).
