What is a minim (UK)?

It is an old British unit of liquid volume used in apothecaries, equal to 1/60 of an imperial fluid dram.

What does an acre-inch measure?

An acre-inch measures the volume covering one acre of land to a uniform depth of one inch.

Why convert minim (UK) to acre-inch?

To translate historic small-volume liquid measures into large-scale agricultural water volumes for irrigation and resource management.

What Is This Tool?

This converter transforms volumes measured in minim (UK), a historic apothecaries' liquid volume unit, into acre-inches, which represent the volume covering one acre of land at one inch depth. It bridges small-scale historic liquid measurements with large agricultural volume units.

How to Use This Tool?

Enter the volume in minim (UK) you want to convert.
Select minim (UK) as the input unit and acre-inch as the output unit.
Initiate the conversion to see the equivalent volume expressed in acre-inches.

Key Features

Converts historic minim (UK) units to acre-inch volumes.
Supports understanding of liquid volumes from pharmaceutical history in modern water resource terms.
Browser-based and easy to use for archival, agricultural, and irrigation contexts.

Examples

10 Minim (UK) equals 5.7587111611819e-9 Acre-inch.
1,000,000 Minim (UK) converts to approximately 0.0005758711 Acre-inch.

Common Use Cases

Translating historic pharmaceutical liquid volumes for modern research and archival purposes.
Estimating irrigation water requirements applied as one inch depth over agricultural land.
Calculating reservoir and pond storage volumes in water resource management.

Tips & Best Practices

Verify units before converting to avoid errors between volume scales.
Use this tool mainly for theoretical, archival, or educational purposes due to scale differences.
Consider the historic context when interpreting minim (UK) volumes.

Limitations

Conversions yield extremely small results because of vastly different measurement scales.
The minim (UK) unit is obsolete and based on historic standards that may differ from modern equivalents.
