The weights and measures system was scrutinized by the king and each time a new king took the throne. A new set of weights were made in a style of his choosing. A master set of weights was produced, which were kept in the Hlut-taw or Supreme Council of State and all weights produced henceforth had to conform to this standard. The mass unit in Burma is referred to as ... morethe kyat or tical. A term known to be in use since 1515AD. The tical mass varied from 10.4 grams in the 15th century to 16.3 grams in 1830.
