Old Belgian Units of Weight Converter

From:
To:
1 [livre (Belgian)] = 0.4895 [kg]
[kg]
The units that were used for measuring mass (weight) before the metric system became compulsory (1820) were: charge, shiffpfund, balle, chariot, quintal, stein, livre, marc, once, and loth. The largest unit for measuring mass (weight) was charge were 1 [charge] is equal to 400 [livre] or 195.799 [kg] while the smallest unit for measuring mass (weight) was loth were 1 [loth] is equal to 0.03125 [livre] or 0.015296875 [kg]. The 1 [livre] is equal to 0.4895 [kg]. The relation between units for measuring mass (weight) is given in the following table.

The conversion of all mass (weight) units to livre and than to kilograms can be written as: \begin{eqnarray} 1 [\mathrm{charge}] &=& 400 [\mathrm{livre}] = 195.79 [\mathrm{kg}]\\ 1 [\mathrm{shiffpfund}] &=& 300 [\mathrm{livre}] = 146.85 [\mathrm{kg}]\\ 1 [\mathrm{balle}] &=& 200 [\mathrm{livre}] = 97.89 [\mathrm{kg}]\\ 1 [\mathrm{chariot}] &=& 165 [\mathrm{livre}] = 80.7675 [\mathrm{kg}]\\ 1 [\mathrm{quintal}] &=& 100[\mathrm{livre}] = 48.949 [\mathrm{kg}]\\ 1 [\mathrm{stein}] &=& 8 [\mathrm{livre}] = 3.916 [\mathrm{kg}]\\ 1 [\mathrm{livre}] &=& 1 [\mathrm{livre}] = 0.4895 [\mathrm{kg}]\\ 1 [\mathrm{marc}] &=& \frac{1}{2} [\mathrm{livre}] = 0.24475 [\mathrm{kg}]\\ 1 [\mathrm{once}] &=& \frac{1}{16}[\mathrm{livre}] = 0.03059375 [\mathrm{kg}]\\ 1 [\mathrm{loth}] &=& \frac{1}{32}[\mathrm{livre}] = 0.015296875[\mathrm{kg}]\\ \end{eqnarray}
