The Dutch units of measurement used today are those of the metric system. Before the 19th century, a wide variety of different weights and measures were used by the various Dutch towns and provinces. Despite the country's small size, there was a lack of uniformity. During the Dutch Golden Age, these weights and measures accompanied the Dutch to the farthest corners of their colonial empire, including South Africa, New Amsterdam and the Dutch East Indies. Units of weight included the pond, ons and last. There was also an apothecaries' system of weights. The mijl and roede were measurements of distance. Smaller distances were measured in units based on parts of the body – the el, the voet, the palm and the duim. Area was measured by the morgen, hont, roede and voet. Units of volume included

  • A lo largo de la historia han estado en uso varias unidades holandesas de medida, y en la actualidad se encuentra vigente el sistema métrico decimal. Con anterioridad al siglo XIX, los diferentes pueblos y provincias holandeses usaron una gran variedad de pesas y medidas diferentes. A pesar del pequeño tamaño del país, había una falta de uniformidad. Durante la Edad de Oro holandesa, estos pesos y medidas acompañaron a los holandeses a los rincones más remotos de su imperio colonial, incluidos Sudáfrica, Nueva Ámsterdam y las Indias Orientales Neerlandesas. Las unidades de peso incluyeron el pond, ons y last. También había un sistema de boticarios para pesos. El mijl y el roede eran medidas de distancia. Las distancias más pequeñas se midieron en unidades basadas en el cuerpo: el el, el vo (es)
