What is a drop as a volume unit?

A drop is an informal, non-SI unit representing the volume of a single liquid droplet, often approximated as about 0.05 mL in pharmacy and medicine.

What does ton register measure?

Ton register, or register ton, is a historical maritime volume unit equal to 100 cubic feet used for expressing ship internal capacity.

Why are conversions between drops and ton register units useful?

Such conversions help relate very small liquid volumes to large maritime vessel capacities, useful in historical, pharmaceutical, and regulatory contexts.
