Unit Definition (chalder, chaldron)
The chalder, chaldron is a traditional British unit of volume or weight used for dry commodities such as coal or lime. As a volume measure, the chaldron is equal to 36 bushels, or 288 British Imperial gallons; this is equivalent to 46.237 cubic feet or 1.3091 cubic meters. As a measure for coal, the chalder equals 1/8 keel or 53 hundredweight (5936 pounds or 2692.52 kilograms). The words "chalder," "chaldron," and "cauldron" are English spellings of the same old French word, which originally meant a large kettle.

Unit Definition (catty [China])
The catty [China] is a weight unit of the colonial period in East and Southeast Asia, originating as the kati in Malaya. The catty varied a little from market to market. Typically it was equal to about 4/3 pound avoirdupois (604.79 grams), and it is still equal to that weight in Malaysia. In China, the catty was identified with the jin, a traditional Chinese unit.
