Length
A number of units were used in Iceland to measure length. One foot (Шаблон:Lang) was equal to 0.31385 m and one nautical mile (Шаблон:Lang) was equal to 1,855 m, as they were defined by their metric equivalents.[1] Some other units are given below:[1][3]
- 1 line (Шаблон:Lang) = Шаблон:Frac feet
- 1 inch (Шаблон:Lang) = Шаблон:Frac feet
- 1 ell (Шаблон:Lang) = 2 feet
- 1 fathom (Шаблон:Lang) = 6 feet
- 1 mile (Шаблон:Lang or Шаблон:Lang) = 24,000 feet
- Шаблон:Lang = 20,000 Шаблон:Lang = 120,000 feet[4]
Mass
A number of units were used to measure mass. One pound (Шаблон:Lang) was equal to 0.5 kg as it was defined by its metric equivalent.[1] Some other units are given below:[1][3]
- 1 mark (Шаблон:Lang) = Шаблон:Frac pound[5]
- 1 Шаблон:Lang = 8 pounds
- 1 Шаблон:Lang = 40 pounds
- 1 Шаблон:Lang = 64 pounds
- 1 barrel of butter (Шаблон:Lang) = 224 pounds
- 1 Шаблон:Lang = 320 pounds
- 1 Шаблон:Lang = 320 pounds
Area
A number of units were used to measure area. One square fathom was equal to 3.546 m2 and one square mile was equal to 56.7383 km2, as they were defined by their metric equivalents.[1] Some other units are given below:[1]
- 1 square inches = Шаблон:Frac square fathom
- 1 square feet = Шаблон:Frac square fathom
- 1 square Шаблон:Lang = Шаблон:Frac square fathom
- 1 Шаблон:Lang = 900 square fathom
- 1 Шаблон:Lang = 1,600 square fathom
Volume
A number of units were used to measure capacity. One pot (Шаблон:Lang) was equal to 0.9661 L as it was defined by its metric equivalent.[1] Some other units are given below:[1][3]
- 1 Шаблон:Lang = 18 pots
- 1 Шаблон:Lang = 39 pots
