This unit is also called the millidalton (mDa). The millimass unit is an SI unit, but its proper SI symbol is mu, not the older symbol mmu. 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.
